Saint Paul Church in Helsinki

Saint Paul Church features a red brick facade with a clock tower visible from Lahdenväylä and Nelostie roads at the intersection of Sturenkatu and Hämeentie.

The church suffered damage to its pillars and one wall during the Winter War in the 1940s, with traces of the conflict still visible on the structure.

The interior displays religious art including a wooden crucifix by Elias Ilkka and ceiling paintings depicting Heaven and the Lamb of God by artists Antti Salmenlinna and Ilmari Manninen.

The building includes two parish meeting halls, with the lower hall offering an industrial kitchen and seating for 120 people, while the upper hall accommodates 100 guests.

The communion set, designed by Henry Ericsson in art deco style, appeared at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition before the church opening.
