Lovely building, be sure to get there early for the best seats as sound quality can be difficult in some areas

Nice church! Very nice architecture outside and a bit more simple inside, with that cosy atmosphere that woods gives inside. Close at 5pm!

The twin-spired Neo-Gothic St. John’s Church is the largest church in Helsinki. It is located on a hill and was completed in 1891 with imposing steeples and an amazing red-brick exterior. You must visit this church to look closely every detail and admire the beauty of this church. The church has wonderful acoustics and is a particular favorite for choral concerts. Every Tuesday 5 o'clock there is an organ session.

Very beautiful church and it has been recently renovated. Late 19th century architecture has been preserved in a nice way. The church is open for individuals most days until late afternoon and basic information e.g. about its history is available in Swedish, Finnish, English and Russian. Location by the tram line 10 makes the church easily accessible and historical architecture around the church, as well as the park around it, are the finest Helsinki can offer. I strongly recommend everyone to pay a visit.
