The Church in the Rock
Temppeliaukion kirkko, literally "Temple Square Church"
An atmospheric of minimalistic church, this church was literally dug out of solid rock. From above, it resembles a crashed UFO. The roof is made of 22 km of copper strips. Completed in 1969, this has become one of Helsinki's most popular attractions. Concerts are often held here thanks to the excellent acoustics.
Daily 10:00-17:00, but if services or other activities (e.g. weddings) take place the church has limited access for tourist visitors. Phone +358 (0)9 2340 5940 for a bulletin on current activities. English services on Sundays at 14:00, open to the public€5
