Betania-talo, Residential building in Punavuori, Helsinki, Finland

The building stands at the intersection of Merimiehenkatu and Perämiehenkatu streets, next to Telakkapuisto park in the Punavuori district.

Architect K. A. Wrede designed this residential structure in 1904 for the City Mission organization, which named it Betania Home.

The building contains the Betania Hall, a former church hall that now functions as a theater space for four different performance groups.

The residential complex currently houses a daycare center and an artists' association, with plans for complete conversion into a daycare facility by 2026.

The building took its name from Bethany, a biblical village on the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem where Lazarus and his sisters lived.
