Viinikka Church, Lutheran church in Viinikka, Tampere, Finland

The church features a single-nave hall design with a tower that narrows into a spire, complemented by a monastery-style wing along the site slope.

Architect Yrjö Waskinen won the design competition in 1927 among 36 proposals, leading to the church construction and opening in May 1932.

The interior design incorporates black and white color schemes with stone mosaic flooring, reflecting the architectural preferences of 1920s Finnish churches.

Located at Kaartotie 1 in Tampere, the church stands at 89 meters above sea level and maintains protected status under local town planning regulations.

The building complex integrates three distinct functions - church, vicarage, and parish hall - marking the first such combination in Finnish architectural history.
