The Battle of Rautu Church was a failed Russian attempt to stop a Swedish relief force headed for Kexholm during the Russo-Swedish War (1656–1658). The Swedes, led by Christoffer Burmeister successfully repelled the Russian attack at Rautu Church and forced them back. However, they withdrew from Rautu towards Viborg the next day, and the Russian forces claimed control of the battlefield soon after.
