Suomenlinna Church, Structure of worship in Suomenlinna, Finland

The stone church stands at a height of 27 meters with a plastered grey exterior and a quadrangular tower on Iso Mustasaari island.

Built in 1854 as an Orthodox garrison church with five onion domes, the structure transformed into a Lutheran church during the 1920s after Finland gained independence.

The church holds regular Lutheran services and functions as a central venue for weddings, concerts, and community gatherings in the Suomenlinna fortress complex.

The church opens daily from June through August between 10:00 and 16:00, with restricted hours from September through May on specific weekdays.

The church tower operates as a functioning lighthouse for maritime navigation, sending four consecutive light signals that represent the letter H for Helsinki.
