Nopola (officially Kyyjärven kirkonkylä; lit. 'Kyyjärvi church village') is the administrative center of the Kyyjärvi municipality in Central Finland, Finland, and also its only urban area with a population of over 600 inhabitants.[1]
The village is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Kyyjärvi[2] as Highway 13 passes through the village near the lake. It has a stone church built in 1953.[3] Near the intersection of Highways 13 and 16 is the Paletti shopping center, completed in 1999.[4][5] Other services in the village include a municipal library,[6] an elementary school,[7] and a fire station.[8] The Nopola News, which provides local news, has been operating from the village since 2005.[9]
Kyyjärvi Camping, which offers accommodation, is located about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east of the village center on the lakeshore.[10]
