Kallio Church
This grey granite church was designed by Lars Sonck and represents National Romanticism with Art Nouveau influences. The National Romantic style appears in the use of traditional Finnish materials and in the church’s massive, gray granite body, as well as in nature-inspired colours and decorative motifs.
Completed in 1912, the church is one of Helsinki’s most prominent landmarks. Its excellent acoustics make it a popular venue for concerts, especially for organ music. Jean Sibelius composed a melody for the bells.
