There are some very beautiful churches in the inner city of Helsinki. Old Church, almost 200 years old masterpiece of ecclesiastical art, is one of them. I have to confess, I have some difficulties to relate completely objectively to Old Church. As a child, my school was next door to Old Church and pupils of the school were forced to go to the church at least two times a year. Simply: Forced. It tells about the position which Christianity not so long time ago had in Finland. It was not, indeed, a religion of choice. But I cannot deny the aesthetic value of Old Church. At the summer time it's a white glowing pearl in the green sea surrounding the church. The inside of the chuch is tresses the majestic power which the church even today has. Religious buildings are always expressions power, they are built within the dominant dogma, that is, within intentions of builders. Lines of flight are as scarce as possible - but when playing with aesthetism, with Sublime, it creates always a situation, spirituality versus dogma, and where as dogma is always artificial and temporal, spiritual is something nameless, outside of time. And in the end, thus seen, in its aesthetism, white glowing Old Church is glowing something outside of time.

Ihana kirkko, joka täyttää 200 vuotta vuonna 2026. Ei ikinä uskoisi, koska rakennus on erittäin hyvässä kunnossa ja siisti. Upea alttaritaulu, henkeäsalpaavan kauniit kultaukset saarnastuolin koristeissa, koristeelliset urut lehterillä, kauniita ikoneja ja niin vaikuttava Mannerheimin kirjoittama Ylipäällikön päiväkäsky seinällä. Liturginen esineistö kauniita. Äänentoistotekniikka toimii ja muukin nykyaikainen audiovisuaalinen välineistö on käytettävissä. Rakennus on esteetön, koska sivuoven ramppi mahdollistaa liikuntarajoitteisten helpon pääsyn sisälle. Vanha kirkko sijaitsee keskustan tuntumassa viehättävän, historiallisen hautausmaapuiston keskellä. Puisto tunnetaan myös "ruttopuistona" ja sen historiasta kertova informaatiotaulu on puiston laidassa olevassa kivisessä kaaressa. En yhtään ihmettele, että Vanha kirkko on erittäin suosittu kristillisten toimitusten pitopaikka. Se on kaunis, viihtyisä ja akustiikka on hyvä. Kannattaa tutustua!

We stopped in Helsinki while on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea. We spent the day walking around the city on a self guided tour using google maps. While walking around, we passed by the Helsinki Old Church. We did not go inside and just walked around the area.

Millionaire Husband (€) Celebrity Christian S. Mäkelä antaa vain 1 tähden, koska kyseessä uusi kirkko. Minä historioitsijana löydän monta oikeasti vanhempaa ja mielenkiintoisempaa kirkkoa Suomesta. Tämä on näitä kirkkoja, jotka sisältä päin ovat paljon komeampia kuin ulkoapäin. Helsinki on suht uusi kaupunkina ja alueena kuin vaikka Turku, Satakunta ja Pohjanmaa ja siksi tämä vanha kuulostaa samalta kuin amerikkalaiset sanoo 5 vuotta rakennusta museoksi, kun Kreikassa, Italiassa ja Venäjällä on oikeasti vanhoja rakennuksia ja alueita, samoin toisessa maassani Ruotsissa. Jos ei ole kiinnostunut historiasta kuten minä, niin sitten tämä kirkon alue sopii hyvin alkojen puistopummien viettopaikaksi, mikä ei luo arvokasta tunnelmaa Helsingin vanhimmasta kirkosta, mutta toisaalta ruttopuisto kirkon alueena kuvastaa kosketusta menneisyyden ja nykyisyyden...
