A missionary station from 1905

Anna Kempe left for India in 1909 the first time. This house och missionary church has a text on the wall that says it was built four years earlier,  in 1905. It is still a very nice church in need of only small restauration. There are not so often gatherings there, but the area around it is very suitable for bicycle tours. It is not situatied in Anna's home parish Nykarleby, but in Vörå, she also visited here, when she was very young and had not yet become a teacher.

Inside is a photo collection of missionaries that has left for different destinations.

Many of them seem to have been more interested in music than Anna Kempe and show in the photos many fancy instruments, that they have gathered during their worksessions in different countries.
