The unique Temppeliaukio Church lies in the Töölö neighborhood of the city. Built by architect brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen in 1969, the church was built into solid rock, hence its nickname, Rock Church. © Sylvain Beauregard | Dreamstime.com
Kamppi Chapel, opened in 2012, quickly received the nickname Chapel of Silence for its peaceful atmosphere. Serving as a place to enjoy moments of silence in one of the busiest areas of Finland, the chapel welcomes people of all religions and backgrounds with different life philosophies. © Ryhor Bruyeu | Dreamstime.com
