Josef Daniel Stenbäck (May 2, 1854,
Alavus — April 27, 1929,
Helsinki) was a
Finnish
church
architect and
engineer. He designed 35 churches for Finland, which until 1917 was part of the
Russian Empire. Four of the churches were located in the current Russian territory of the
Karelian Isthmus, ceded to the
Soviet Union in 1944. Stenbäck's churches represent
Romantic nationalism or
Gothic Revival. One of his most famous works is the
Juselius Mausoleum.
