Mikael Agricola Church, Lutheran church in Punavuori, Finland

The brick church rises with a 103-meter tower above the neighborhoods of Punavuori and Eira in southern Helsinki.

Architect Lars Sonck designed the church after winning a second architectural contest in 1932, as the first competition's results did not meet traditional requirements.

The church displays artistic elements including chandeliers by Arvo Muroma and an altar sculpture depicting Jesus' burial by Bruno Tuukkanen.

The main hall accommodates 850 people while the crypt offers additional space for 200 attendees, making it suitable for various religious ceremonies.

During wartime, the church's 30-meter tower spike could retract inside the structure to prevent enemy aircraft from using it as a navigation point.
