The Temppeliaukio Church is built into/under rock in the Töölö district of Helsinki so that it is known as the 'underground church'. Its construction was completed in 1969 and it is a renown venue of concerts due to the quality acoustics the rocky environment provides.

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.

You should see this church!!It was designed by Timo and Tuomo in 1969 and is one of the must attractions of the capital.It was buils in hard rock (quite unusual for such a rock to be found there).Its 24 meter diameter roof is covered by copper .Concerts are held regulary.The entrance to the church is from Fredrikinkatu.

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.
