Lakeuden Risti Church in Seinäjoki, Finland, is a modernist Lutheran church designed by Alvar Aalto and constructed between 1957 and 1960. The building's name translates to "Cross of the Plains Church," reflecting its setting in central Finland. It was the first completed structure of Aalto's larger civic and administrative center for Seinäjoki, a visionary complex that would eventually encompass the town hall, library, theater, and state office building. As a church-protected building, it stands as a significant example of Aalto's architectural philosophy applied to religious architecture during the post-war modernist period.
