St. Olaf's Church in Tyrvää (Finnish: Tyrvään Pyhän Olavin kirkko) is a late medieval fieldstone church in Tyrvää, Sastamala, Finland. It is located on the shore of lake Rautavesi. The church was built approximately in 1510–1516 and burnt down by a burglar on 21 September 1997.[1]
The church was rebuilt by local people and the interior paintings were created by painters Kuutti Lavonen and Osmo Rauhala.[1]
The reconstruction of the church is documented in the book St. Olaf's Church in Tyrvää by Kuutti Lavonen, Osmo Rauhala, and Pirjo Silveri.
