Rock it. In Helsinki, they know how to design unique places of worship. You can check out a wood masterpiece here. For stone, head to the Temppeliaukio Church. Opened in 1969, the church is unique for being mostly quarried from a rock mound in the center of a city square. It's more impressive than it sounds.
The entrance is at ground level. You walk in and suddenly you're within the hollowed (hallowed?) rock.
Details. Expansive copper dome, angled views.
Funky. A nice touch that they've kept that swinging late 1960s upholstery.
Super popular with Lithuanians? Who knew? The nice play of light within the church.
Taking it in.
