Helsinki has some peculiar churches that merit special attention. You can walk through the city in search for churches big and small, hidden and exposed, classical and modern. And that's exactly what I did.
Approaching the Temppeliaukio, or Temple, church - literally, Church in the Rock - is a strange experience. Coming from one of the side streets, you reach a small square, and at first, you think there is a little green defining the square, although in the form of a small hill. Then you see a construction on top of the hill. You can walk over the hill, but it is more interesting to find the entrance to this church. Built in the late 1960s, the Temppeliaukio church still strikes visitors. Inside, the walls are still rough, the copper roof is the shiny crown on the brilliant work of architects Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen. The uniquely formed windows allow sufficient light into this remarkable church.
