  • The massive Art Nouveau church in granite by Lars Sonck from 1912 can be seen all the way from Observatory Hill in Southern Helsinki along Unioninkatu. New Helsinki University buildings in Hakaniemi.....  more

  • Such a beautiful church with nice architectural details and decorations! The combination of the colours creates a peaceful atmosphere and a great place to relax and ease your mind.
  • It's a church. Big one. I never went inside the church, Only walked around outside. If you are close by, You should go check it out. It's pretty awesome.
  • The GPS is not precise so, I got off on the backs side of the church. But the church was very visible from the other side
  • Very prayer 🙏 place for glorifying God and for the peace of the soul and spirituality.
  • Stunning church with subtle art nouveau influences. Understated interior, but enjoyed the column head detailing. Worth a visit for sure.
