Helsinge Church, Medieval stone church in Helsingin pitäjän kirkonkylä, Finland

The gray stone church features enlarged windows that allow natural light to fill its spacious interior through Gothic-style architectural elements.

Built in the 1450s by the Master of Pernå, the church underwent major renovations after a fire in 1893 destroyed everything except its stone structures.

The church holds regular services in both Finnish and Swedish languages, reflecting the bilingual heritage of the Vantaa region.

Located in southern Finland, the church maintains a crematorium with an urn delivery room and serves as the main church for Tikkurila and Swedish congregations.

The structure stands as the oldest remaining building in the Helsinki metropolitan area, situated within Finland's most preserved historical church village environment.
