Finlayson Church, Gothic Revival church in Finlayson district, Tampere, Finland.
Red brick walls and pointed arches define this religious building standing at 97 meters elevation in the industrial district of Tampere.
The church opened in 1879 as part of the Finlayson cotton factory complex, providing religious services for factory workers until the 1970s.
The structure follows English Congregationalist church designs, with both the preaching chair and organ positioned behind the altar without decorative elements.
The church holds 280 seats and functions as a children's road church, featuring a Children's Bible and installations depicting biblical events.
The organ, constructed by William Hill & Son in the 1850s, traveled from Saint Petersburg to Tampere for installation in 1879.
