Completed in 1950, this church replaced the one destroyed during WWII. The impressively large fresco behind the altar depicts a Christ figure emerging from Lappish scenery. Created by Lennart Segerstråle, the fresco has two sides: one populated by the faithful, the other by brawling drunkards and ravening wolves.
