Church Builders Killi and Nalli is a public sculpture in Raisio, Finland. Created by the sculptor Harry Kivijärvi in red granite, it stands in the park area between Raisio City Hall and the Church of St. Martin.[1]
The sculpture, which stylistically depicts two humanlike figures, is based on a folk song for the kantele, according to which the giants Killi and Nalli built the church in Raisio.[2]
The sculpture is thus based on a local myth, that the giants built the church in Raisio 700 years ago.[3]
