Huutoniemi Church

Huutoniemi Church is a Lutheran house of worship in Vaasa with a modern geometric design. The building features large windows that flood the interior with natural light, creating a bright and open environment.

Architect Aarno Ruusuvuori designed the building in 1964 as a break from traditional Finnish church architecture. The structure marked a turning point in how religious spaces were conceived in the north.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local community's religious observances and personal reflection. Its austere design reflects a modern approach to creating sacred spaces.

The building sits at the intersection of Huutoniementie and Yhdystie roads and is easy to reach from the street. The straightforward modern layout makes it simple to navigate, and visitors can enter during worship times and at other times as well.

The building was recognized as a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance and shows Finland's pioneering role in modern church architecture. Ruusuvuori's design was radical for its time, proving that religious spaces did not need to look traditional.
