History
The rural municipality of Jyväskylä, abbreviated Jyväskylä mlk in official contexts, was a Finnish municipality located northwest, north and east of the city of Jyväskylä. The municipality joined the new city of Jyväskylä on January 1, 2009. The first church built for Jyväskylä's country congregation was built in Taulumäki between 1883 and 1885, but burned down in 1918. The altarpiece painted by Eero Järnefelt was saved from the fire. In 1929, a new church was completed on the same spot. The Swedish name is Jyväskylä landskommun.
