The Siuntio Church Village ({{langx|fi|Siuntion kirkonkylä}}, {{langx|sv|Sjundeå kyrkoby}}) is a rural village of the Siuntio municipality in Uusimaa, Finland. At the end of 2020, the village had 353 inhabitants.{{cite web | url = https://pxnet2.stat.fi/PXWeb/pxweb/fi/StatFin/StatFin__vrm__vaerak/statfin_vaerak_pxt_11s8.px/table/tableViewLayout1/ | title = Taajamat väkiluvun ja väestöntiheyden mukaan, 2020 | publisher = Statistics Finland | access-date = August 4, 2022 | language = fi }} The village was the former administrative center of the municipality before it was moved in the 1950s into the Siuntio Station Area, which grew larger in terms of population due to the placement of Siuntio railway station.{{cite book|author=Anu Koskivirta|title=Siuntio - avainkunta kautta aikojen|year=2010|page=112|publisher=Siuntion kunta|language=fi}}
Services
The Church Village is, as its name suggests, known for its medieval stone church, St. Peter's Church.[https://mapio.net/wiki/Q4794618-fi/ Siuntion kirkko] - Mapio.net (in Finnish) The village also houses the Siuntio Local History Museum, which tells about the local history of the area.[https://museo-opas.fi/en/siuntio-homestead-museum/ Siuntio Homestead Museum] - Uusimaa Museum Guide
The village used to house even banks, different shops and the municipal administration office at Åvalla. All of the services are located nowadays around the railway station area. Only the parish office remains next to the church.
