A Really Beautiful Modern Church

  • May 26, 2025
  • Rated 5 of 5 by NiceGinna from Evanston, Illinois

Our first destination was Temppeliaukio Church, designed by Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen in 1969. It’s a low church, surrounded by beautiful boulders of brown, red, pink, and gray muted colors. The entrance door is bronze (I think) and you come into a round space, with a 24 meter-diameter copper strip roof. The struts are spaced apart, letting the sun shine in and there is plenty of rock exposed. We’re not usually interested in modern churches, but this one is a major exception.

From journal Cruise to the Baltic States and St. Petersburg
