⛪️Rovaniemen Kirkko. Beautiful⛪️Church with an interesting🏗History I visited this church⛪️weeks ago as part of an insight tour.⛪️The church is one of the most beautiful☃️I have ever seen, It had an emotional effect on me.

Our tour guide told us that the original⛪️church on that site was destroyed🔥by German🇩🇪soldiers💂🏻♂️during ✈️WW2🌪The church⛪️has a beautiful mosaic mural and organ,⚱️graveyard and ⚰️memorial to those lost👻during the☄️war.🗿The statue outside is really nice. A beautiful experience☃️to👁see.🛤Yliopistonkatu 1,📮96100 Rovaniemi, Suomen tasavalta🇫🇮
Great temple. I was there at the evening of Christmas concert. Orchestra was amazing, church was full of people. I was amazed by people at "front desk". They had really friendly attitude to strangers. This place has amazing atmosphere. I think it's heart of Rovaniemi.
Opening times do vary, but a beautiful church with an outside appearance and design giving it a much older period look than it actually is. Interior still very beautiful, but less period. Red lit cross on the top of the spire very unusual. Well worth a visit.
While in my opinion the church looks not really special from the outside, I did really like the interior. The style of the frescos differs from what I've seen anywhere else so far. Also I like the possibility to watch the services online.
Very nice church, but it's closed for most of the day. We didn't found time to visit it. I don't understand why can't it stay open like in the rest of Europe. There's also a nice graveyard nearby.
A beautiful church and the frescos well worth seeing. When we visited we were lucky enough to hear a pianist playing. The resonance of the sound was magnificent. A very lucky an timely visit.
