Koskela Church

Koskela Church is a stone building located at Käpyläntie 11 in Helsinki that displays early 20th-century architectural features. The structure shows a simple, functional design typical of Finnish church architecture from that period.

The church was designed by architects Nils Wasastjerna and Knut Edgar Wasastjerna and opened in 1914. It was built during a period when Helsinki was expanding its outlying areas with new civic structures.

The church serves as a gathering place where locals come for Sunday services and community events throughout the year. It remains central to the spiritual and social life of the neighborhood.

The building is accessible by public transportation, with several bus routes serving the area near Käpyläntie. It is best to check in advance if services or events are scheduled before planning a visit.

The building holds dual protection status under both town and city planning regulations, ensuring its architectural features are preserved for the future. This legal safeguard makes it an important record of Helsinki's early suburban development.
