The 'Church in the Rock' is the most striking piece of religious architecture in Helsinki.

The chuch was hewn from a huge chunk of granite, the walls left as jagged bedrock, into which a concrete altar was poured. The copper roof seems to float above the church as the light come from a circular window on to which the roof sits. A proper 'wow' moment.

This was the house of Jean Sibelius, the composer. Of most interest to music lovers, but a change from the city and a look at rural Finland if you're on a short break.
