Kulosaari Church, Functionalist church building in Kulosaari, Finland

The church stands on a hill in Kulosaari district, featuring linear forms with a bell tower, vicarage, and church park across the grounds.

Built in 1935 by architect Bertel Jung, the structure exemplifies the transition from traditional religious architecture to modernist design principles in Finnish construction.

The interior displays plaster figures with musical themes donated by Sigrid af Forselles' family, along with an altar adorned with textiles made by local parishioners.

The main hall accommodates 170 people, while an additional meeting space fits 100 attendees, providing free access for baptisms and weddings to congregation members.

The church ceiling depicts a painted skyscape, complemented by a Rieger organ donated by prominent shipowners Gustaf Thordén and Antti Wihuri.
