- Toni TTuulos, Finland57 contributionsGreat example of a finnish national romantic church architectureThis church is a magnificent Finnish National Romantic style church. Made of granite with beautiful details both outside and inside, copper details, beautiful colored glass windows, impressive frecos by famous Hugo Simberg. Absolutely worth a visit!Visited March 2020Written March 6, 2020
- Heli PHelsinki, Finland6,349 contributionsLife and deathThe frescos of great Finnish symbolist Hugo Simberg depict all aspects of human life as befits a church. Young boys holding the flower garland surround the seating area and can be seen during the seremony from all angles. Death in many roles was a favourite theme for the artist, on the left side of the altar skeletons are tending to their garden. Several versions of the painting Wounded Angel exist, one in Ateneum in Helsinki, here two boys are carrying her with the citys factories in the back ground. The imposing stone cathedral in Art Nouveau style, mainly vanished from Tampere, was designed in 1902 by Lars Sonck.Visited July 2020Written July 30, 2020

It was certainly the most outstanding church in the town. Didn't check the inside of it thought. Nice nonetheless.

A great church in Tampere contains paintings by Hugo Simberg. The building itself is a gray stone church designed by Lars Sonck.

Painting of “Wounded Angel” is beautiful. Fresco of young boys carrying garland surround the seating area. Quiet and a nice place to reflect.

The church is massive and the first impression is a bit like you're facing a castle of some sort. Inside is quite simple nad modern. Some wall painings and some windows, but nothing "flashy". Still, it is an interesting visit.

It's a really nice church, doesn't look like a typical Finnish church and is worth a visit if you are passing by

This beautiful church was designed by famous Finnish architect Lars Sonck and built early 20th century.
I highly recommend a visit and admiring all simple and beautiful detailed decorations. To get all out of the visit, I recommend to read about the church before hand.

As far as I can remember it was 10.00 to 17.00 but ceremonies or services could mean that this is adapted. We went there in the early afternoon at around 13.00.
