Isokyrö in three films: the Old Church, Napue and Kyrö Distillery

Three distinct views of Isokyrö: a municipal introduction to its medieval church, the centenary of the Napue memorial and a visitor’s tour of the local rye distillery.

This short municipal film introduces Isokyrö’s Old Church through the building’s layered history. Its verified description distinguishes local tradition about an earlier wooden church and the date 1304 from the later medieval stone church, and points viewers to the 114 wall paintings associated with the 1560s. It is a compact orientation to why this church matters in the Kyrö River landscape. Treat the historical date as tradition, as the parish itself does, and check present opening arrangements separately before planning a visit.

This recording preserves the centenary programme for the Napue battle memorial, held in July 2020 at the monument and the Old Church. It is an event film rather than a battle reenactment: the verified programme includes commemorative speeches, music and the presentation of the 1920 memorial’s unveiling speech. For travellers, it adds the way Isokyrö remembers a battle fought here in 1714, while keeping the focus on public memory and ceremony rather than invented scenes of combat.

In this visitor’s film, the host of Forgotten Weapons travels to Isokyrö for a tour of Kyrö Distillery and a look at its production. The creator’s account identifies the visit as a behind-the-scenes introduction, not an official current visitor schedule. It offers a different angle from the town’s historic sites: a contemporary rye-based enterprise working in a rural setting. Use it to understand the distillery’s appeal, then consult the operator for current tours, reservations, restaurant service and travel arrangements.
