Hämeenlinna Church from 1798 was designed by Louis Jean Desprez, painter to the court of King Gustav III. It was modelled from Pantheon in Rome which was greatly admired by the king. The altar stood in the middle of the amphitheatre-shaped church, and the pulpit was above the sacristy door.
The new church was not much liked by local people who said that it looked like a kettle and there wasn't even a tower. Separate wooden tower was added but it was burned in the fire of 1831 which destroyed most of the town. The present tower was built in 1837. In 1892 the original layout of the church was lost when cross arms were added and interior was changed from amphitheatre to normal seating arrangement.
