Pyhän sydämen kappeli, Helsinki, Art Nouveau church in Kallio, Helsinki, Finland

The Chapel of the Sacred Heart stands with light colored walls and features ornamental details typical of early 1900s Finnish religious architecture.

Architect Vilho Penttilä completed this church building in 1906, making it the first religious structure in the Kallio district of Helsinki.

The chapel maintains separate Finnish and Swedish language services, reflecting Finland's bilingual heritage through regular Sunday worship schedules.

Located on Kirstinkatu street, the chapel holds services every Sunday in Finnish and alternate Sundays in Swedish, with space for private events.

The chapel houses an 1890 organ, originally from Dagsberg Church in Sweden, which underwent restoration before its installation in 1992.
