Muurame is a municipality of Finland, located Template:Convert south-west of Jyväskylä, the regional capital of Central Finland. Muurame itself is located between two lakes, Lake Päijänne and Lake Muuratjärvi. These two lakes are connected to each other via River Muurame. Altogether there are 37 lakes in Muurame. The biggest lakes beside Päijänne are Muuratjärvi and Lake Kuusjärvi.[1] River Muurame streams through the population center of Muurame, which was founded in 1921.
The Muurame church is of Alvar Aalto's design, being his first church design to be completed in 1929.[2] It was comprehensively restored in 2016 to its original design.[2]

History
Muurame was originally a part of the Jämsä. There were also external hunting grounds of Pälkäne in the area.[4] In 1539, there were four farms in Muurame: two of the estates paid taxes to Jämsä, while the other two were taxed from Pälkäne.[5]
Korpilahti, including Muurame, was separated from Jämsä in 1861.[6] Muurame was in turn separated from Korpilahti in 1921.[7] Säynätsalo was separated from Muurame ecclesiastically in 1922[8] and administratively in 1924.[9]
