Olari Church

The church complex consists of three distinct structures, including the main assembly building and two parish center buildings connected by a sheltered courtyard.

The construction of Olari Church commenced in 1981 following a winning architectural design from a competition held in 1976.

The architectural design incorporates natural light through large windows and light-colored surfaces, following Finnish religious building traditions.

The church maintains a central location in the growing Niittykumpu district, accessible via nearby metro station and adjacent parking facilities.

Red brick serves as the primary construction material throughout the building, from the exterior walls to the interior flooring elements.
