The Loppi Church (Finnish: Lopen kirkko; Swedish: Loppis kyrka) is the 19th-century Gothic Revival red-brick church located in the Loppi municipality in Tavastia Proper, Finland.[1] The building was designed by Konstantin Kiseleff [fi] and Elia Heikel [fi], and it was completed in 1888. The church burned down in 1914 and, after the renovation, it was reopened in 1921.[2]

The church's first 21-tone pipe organ was manufactured by the Kangasala's organ factory in 1926.[3] The current 29-tone pipe organ from 1988 was manufactured by the Danish company Christensen & Sønner.[2]
