Ylämaa Church was designed by the architect and artist Ilmari Launis, and was
inaugurated on the Feast of Pentecost in 1931. In 1975, a baptismal font formed from Ylämaa spectrolite, which is said to be unique in the whole worl, was
donated to the church.

Pielpajärvi Wilderness Church dates from 1760 and thus one of the oldest buildings in northern Lapland.
Pielpajärvi Wilderness Church was built in 1752-1760 to replace the old church which was built in 1646 and used to be the religious centre of Inari
Municipality until the year 1888. The Church is still used during the Midsummer and
also for religious ceremonies like weddings.
