Lauritsala Church, Lutheran church in Lauritsala district, Lappeenranta, Finland.
The triangular floor plan of Lauritsala Church features concrete ceilings constructed with slip-form techniques and tall windows extending to the 47-meter tower.
Architects Toivo Korhonen and Jaakko Laapotti won the 1957 design competition with their entry Taivaan valo, leading to the church's completion in 1969.
The church complex serves as a central gathering space for the Lutheran community, offering religious services and parish activities in the Lauritsala neighborhood.
Located at Kauppalankatu 4 in Lappeenranta, the church building accommodates 670 people and includes a parish center for community functions.
The glass-covered section of the roof allows natural light to illuminate the interior space, complementing the raw concrete architectural elements.
