The Degerby Church (Swedish: Degerby kyrka; Finnish: Degerbyn kirkko) is the 20th-century church located in the village of Degerby in the Ingå municipality in Uusimaa, Finland. The Empire-style church was designed by and it was completed in 1932.[1]
After World War II, the church was part of the Porkkala area, which was leased to the Soviet Union until 1956.[2] The church was rededicated in 1958, when the area was returned to Finland.[1] Although 10 million Finnish markkas were spent on the church's repair work, it was preserved from destruction because it was actively used by Russian soldiers as a saloon and cinema.[3] The golden cross in the church tower was lost during the lease period, but a new one was added finally in 2018.[4]
The church's 9-tone mechanical Walker pipe organ was acquired in 1965.[1] [5]
