Kannelmäki Church, Lutheran church in Kannelmäki district, Helsinki, Finland

The church structure features a tent-like design with four hyperbolic paraboloid surfaces made of reinforced concrete, reaching 30 meters in height.

Architects Marjatta and Martti Jaatinen won a 1962 architectural competition, leading to the church construction between 1967 and 1968.

The altar window contains a 31-meter-wide stained glass artwork by Hilkka Toivola, depicting the Tree of Life with 111 individual panes.

The church hall accommodates 500 people and includes facilities such as a parish hall, youth areas, kindergarten premises, and residential quarters.

The roof structure weighs 580 tons and rests on four corner pillars, creating a distinctive silhouette against the Helsinki skyline.
