Helsinki | Rock Church ๐๐ชจ
Temppeliaukio Church, designed in 1969, is built directly into natural rock ๐ชจ and is also known as the "Rock Church," a must-visit โ for architecture students. The architecture perfectly blends with the rock, featuring a simple and modern exterior design, located at the entrance of a natural rocky cave. The interior space is incredibly striking, a vast circular area where the church's design makes full use of the natural characteristics of the rock and allows for ample natural light โ๏ธ. Thanks to the echo effect of the rock walls, the church has excellent acoustics, making it a venue for occasional weddings and various concerts ๐ต. You can climb to the second floor via the stairs at the entrance, overlooking the entire architectural space and better feel its unique tranquil and sacred atmosphere. ๐ Transportation is also very convenient, highly recommended for a visit. ๐ Opening Hours Monday to Friday: 9:30 - 16:50 Saturday: 9:00-11:45, 12:45-14:35, 15:45-16:50 Sunday: 12:30-16:50 #Finland #RockChurch #TemppeliaukioChurch #Architecture #MustVisit #Attractions #Church
