I wrote a report about the characteristics of Bothnian block-pillar churches in the 17^<th> century in my previous paper. Many of these churches were constructed using a highly developed technique during this time. But in Sweden, the style of churches changed to cruciform churches at the end of the 17^<th> century. This trend came to Finland and many cruciform churches were built with the corner-timbered technique. Although the block-pillar churches became virtually obsolete, the technique was still being applied to cruciform churches as late as the middle of the 18^<th> century. Thus the cruciform churches developed into larger and higher structures. I will try to clarify how the block-pillar technique was applied to cruciform churches. I believe this technique played a very significant role in the history of Finnish wooden churches during the 17^<th> and 18^<th> centuries.
