The Finnish Heritage Agency's description
Kuvaus
Paavolan kirkonkylä on yksi harvoista kirkonkylistä, joissa maantiehen tukeutuva kylärakenne on selkeästi säilynyt.
Siikajokilaaksoon viettävien peltojen etelälaidalla ovat vanhan maantien varteen ryhmittyneet kirkonkylän julkiset rakenukset ja kantatilojen pihapiirit. Uudempi rakentaminen keskittyy sivuteiden varsille.
Paavolan aumakattoinen ristikirkko on Matti Hongan 1756 rakentama ja saarnatuoli Mikael Toppeliuksen maalaama. Pohjalaistyyppinen tapuli on vuodelta 1760. Raitin muita rakennuksia ovat lainamakasiini, meijeri, vanha kansakoulu ja paloasema.
Historia
Paavola tuli Siikajoen saarnahuonekunnaksi 1702 ja kappeliksi 1811. Kirkon vieressä oleva 1847 rakennettu lainajyvämakasiini otettiin museokäyttöön 1978. Paavolan raitti säästyi voimakkailta muutoksilta hallinnollisten ja kaupallisten toimintojen siirryttyä Ruukkiin. Paavolan 1874 perustettu kunta ja Revonlahti yhdistettiin Ruukin kunnaksi 1973. Ruukki puolestaan yhdistyi Siikajoen kanssa 2007.

Description
Paavola church village is one of the few church villages where a village structure built along the road has clearly survived.
At the southern edge of the fields sloping towards the Siikajoki valley, the public buildings of the church village and the yards of the parent farms are grouped along the old main road. Newer construction is concentrated along the side roads.
The aisled cross-plan church with a hipped roof was built in 1756 by Matti Honka, and the pulpit was painted by Mikael Toppelius. The bell tower of the Ostrobothnian type dates from 1760. Other buildings on the Paavola raitti are the loan storehouse, a dairy, the old elementary school and a fire station.
History
Paavola became a saarnahuonekunta of Siikajoki in 1702 and a chapelry in 1811. The loan grain storehouse built in 1847 next to the church was taken into museum use in 1978. The Paavola raitti was spared from major changes when administrative and commercial functions moved to Ruukki. The municipality of Paavola, established in 1874, and Revonlahti were merged into Ruukki municipality in 1973. Ruukki, in turn, merged with Siikajoki in 2007.
