    Beautiful architecture and light in the middle of loud and busy Kamppi square. Recommend for a nice sit and calm addition to your day.

    Absolutely LOVED this spot. In the middle of the city, having a respite like this is so important in our lives. We rarely take the TIME to be quiet. We don’t sacrifice our scheduling to just do nothing. This chapel allows that. The architecture is beautiful, natural, and unique. I highly recommend you spend time here!
  • By Aaron Winkel
    This was a nice retreat from the white noise of the city. We were fortunate to be the only ones in the chapel for a time and the silence was very peaceful.
