Hanko Church

The red brick church stands at coordinates 59.8239° N and 22.9708° E, featuring both Gothic Revival and functionalist architectural elements in its design.

Built in 1892 under the guidance of architects Jac Ahrenberg and Bertel Liljequist, the church underwent reconstruction in the 1970s, transforming its exterior to gray stone.

The interior of the church contains a statue of Christ created by Bertel Thorvaldsen, serving as the main altar centerpiece for Lutheran religious ceremonies.

The church building accommodates 400 people and maintains regular opening hours during summer months, with increased accessibility during Sunday services.

Located on an elevated position, the church structure functioned as a navigation point for maritime traffic along Finland's southern coastal routes.
