The Finnish Heritage Agency's description

Heinolan maaseurakunnan kirkkomaisema kuvastaa kirkonkylien historian vaihetta, jolloin kirkko, pappila ja muutama kantatalo muodostivat kirkonkylän ytimen ennen maakaupan vapautumista.

Heinolasta Mikkeliin johtaneen vanhan maantien varrella olevan kirkkomaiseman rakennuksia ovat Heinolan maaseurakunnan 1700-luvun puolivälissä rakennettu ristikirkko ja tapuli, Kotajärven rantaan rajautuvassa peltomaisemassa oleva pappila ja 1960-luvulta peräisin oleva, havumetsään taitavasti sovitettu seurakuntatalo. Maisemaa muovaavia tärkeitä elementtejä ovat kirkkoa ympäröivä hautausmaa, pappilan puutarha sekä Kotajärvi ympäröivine rantapeltoineen, Pikoinlampi ja siihen jyrkästi laskeutuva, havupuita kasvava harju.

Suuren hautausmaan laidassa oleva kirkko on pohjamuodoltaan tasavartinen ristikirkko, jossa on itäsuomalaiseen tapaan ulospäin kapenevat ristivarret. Ristivarsien päistä aumatun kuvioidun paanukaton lappeet ovat lievästi kaartuvat. Katon keskellä on ristiin päättyvä viiritanko.

Kirkkosalissa on kaarevat lautaholvit ja ristikeskuksessa välikattokupoli. Kiinteä sisustus on kokonaisuudessaan 1930-luvun korjauksen mukaisessa asussa.

Hautausmaan laidassa oleva kaksikerroksinen kellotapuli on yleishahmoltaan intendentinkonttorin yksinkertaista uusklassismia ja kelloluukkujen ja ovien osalta kansanomaista 1700-luvulta periytyvää kustavilaisuutta.

Pappilan pihapiiri muodostuu 1860-luvulla rakennetusta pappilasta ja pihaa alkuaan reunustaneista sivurakennuksesta ja pitkästä aitasta. Sivurakennuksen jatkeeksi on 1990-luvulla rakennettu toinen identtinen sivurakennus. Piharakennukset muodostavat selkeän rajan pihapiiriä ympäröiville teille.

Hollolan emäseurakuntaan 1630 luvulla erotettu Heinolan kappeli itsenäistyi 1848. Heinolan kaupunkiseurakunta erotettiin siitä 1917.

Heinolan maaseurakunnan kirkko on valmistui 1755 ja rakennettiin todennäköisesti kirkonrakentaja August Sorsan johdolla. Kirkkoa korjattiin 1933 arkkitehti Kauno S. Kallion suunnittelmin.

Kellotapuli rakennettiin intendentinkonttorissa 1831 laaditun piirustuksen mukaan rakennusmestari Erik Leppäsen johdolla 1834.

Seurakuntatalo valmistui 1965 arkkitehti Arno Savelan suunnittelemana.

The church landscape of Heinola rural parish reflects a phase in the history of church villages, when the church, the parsonage and a few main farms formed the core of the church village before the liberalisation of land trade.

The buildings of this church landscape, along the old road from Heinola to Mikkeli, are the cross-plan church and bell tower of Heinola rural parish, built in the mid-18th century; the parsonage, situated in field landscape bordering the shore of Kotajärvi; and the parish hall from the 1960s, skilfully fitted into the coniferous forest. Important elements shaping the landscape are the cemetery surrounding the church, the parsonage garden, and Kotajärvi with its shoreline fields, Pikoinlampi, and the steeply descending esker covered with conifers.

The church, on the edge of the large cemetery, has a cross-shaped plan with equal arms, with outward-tapering transept arms in the East Finnish manner. The ends of the arms carry a chamfered, patterned shingle roof whose slopes are slightly curved. A weathervane rod ending in a cross stands at the centre of the roof.

The nave has curved board vaults, and the crossing has an intermediate-ceiling dome. The fixed interior is entirely in the form of the 1930s repairs.

The two-storey bell tower at the edge of the cemetery is, in its general form, in the simple Neoclassicism of the Intendent's Office. Its bell openings and doors, however, show the folk-style Gustavian tradition inherited from the 18th century.

The parsonage yard consists of the parsonage built in the 1860s, an outbuilding that originally bordered the yard, and a long granary. In the 1990s a second, identical outbuilding was built as an extension of the first. The yard buildings form a clear boundary against the roads surrounding the yard.

Heinola chapel, separated from the mother parish of Hollola in the 1630s, became independent in 1848. Heinola town parish was separated from it in 1917.

The church of Heinola rural parish was completed in 1755 and was probably built under the direction of church builder August Sorsa. The church was repaired in 1933 to designs by architect Kauno S. Kallio.

The bell tower was built in 1834 under the direction of master builder Erik Leppänen, according to a drawing prepared in the Intendent's Office in 1831.

The parish hall was completed in 1965 to designs by architect Arno Savela.
