Message from Denise van Rijswijk

Designed by brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen, this unique church was built directly into solid rock in 1969. The Temppeliaukio Church, also known as the Rock Church, is a Lutheran church in Helsinki.

With its iconic copper dome roof and excellent acoustics, it's a popular tourist attraction and concert venue, attracting half a million visitors annually. The interior, bathed in natural light, features exposed rock walls and a stunning altarpiece made from an ice-age crevice. It's definitely a must-see spot for architecture enthusiasts!
