Nokia Church

Nokia Church is a neoclassical stone building with a circular central hall topped by a dome that spans the entire interior space. The design follows the architectural model of Rome's Pantheon.

Carl Ludvig Engel, the German architect who shaped Helsinki's architectural character, designed this church which was completed in 1837. His design reflects the classical architecture he promoted throughout Finland.

The altarpiece 'Crucifixion of Christ' created by Felix Frang in 1907 reflects the local religious tradition through its presence in the main worship space. Visitors notice how this artwork anchors the spiritual focus of the interior.

The building accommodates 780 people and offers comfortable seating arrangements for larger gatherings. The interior layout provides clear sightlines, making it easy for visitors to navigate the space.

A 32-tone pipe organ built at the Kangasala factory between 1973 and 1974 was installed during renovation work. This instrument represents a notable example of Finnish organ craftsmanship from that period.
