    Temppeliaukio

    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.

    Was in Helsinki in early March 2011 and the church is closed until the start of May 2011 for renovations.
