This church is one of the most spiritual places I've ever been.If you don't know how church should feel, go there, not for a service just go there and feel how natural, basic and real god's presence can be. Even a lot of none Christian people feel very touched in that place and I haven't been a Christian at the time I went there.Just check it out, at least it is something very different.

Realy an extraordinary church. It's in the east city part Töölö; built in 1969. When I visitet it, a student just played Piano. The accustic is fantastic and thogether with the light in different colours, the round ceiling in cupper, concrete and glass and the mixture of wood and rough stone walls is just great.

Pretty cool, for a church. I was only there for about ten minutes. I didn't like Helsinki at all, but this was one of the few highlights.

I think the best part of this church, apart from being underground, is the copper ceiling. Look up when you are inside!
