Archangel Michael's church
Archangel Michael's church, Lutheran church in central Turku, Finland
The red brick church features a 77-meter-high spire that dominates the western skyline, with grey-green slate roofing imported from Norway.
Lars Sonck, at age 23, won the architectural competition in 1894, and the church construction was completed in 1905 before its parish establishment in 1921.
The church interior displays Finnish craftsmanship through soapstone furnishings and religious-themed windows created in Paris by artists Hilkka Toivola and Otso Karpakka.
The church building accommodates 1,800 people and functions as a primary wedding venue, featuring a modern 52-stop organ installed by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri AB in 2002.
The original windows depicting Finnish pine trees were destroyed during the Winter War and replaced with new designs showing themes of Faith, Hope, and Charity.
