Pertunmaa Church
In 1925, architect Alvar Aalto drew up two plans for the Pertunmaa Church, which were not implemented. The parish of Hartola donated its old church and belfry, built in 1684–1693, to the people of Pertunmaa. The buildings were not demolished in Pertunmaa until years later, at the end of 1927 and the beginning of 1928, despite the opposition of Hartola-based writer Maila Talvio. The demolished logs and the preacher room built in Pertunmaa in 1907, which also served as a temporary church, were turned into a church building so that the preacher room formed the nave of the church. The transfer took place with the help of horses, 300 loads. The pulpit was carried by the housekeeper Johan Abel Tuomaala.
The church's 15-voice pipe organ was manufactured by Urkurakentamo Tuomi in 1982.
