Holy Cross Chapel, Modernist chapel in Turku Cemetery, Finland.
The Holy Cross Chapel features three distinct burial spaces, with the largest accommodating 160 seats and housing organs with 16 sound sets.
Following an architectural competition in 1963, architect Pekka Pitkänen completed the construction of Holy Cross Chapel in 1967 within Turku Cemetery grounds.
The chapel's design incorporates large windows and concrete elements, reflecting the Finnish approach to religious architecture through natural light and materiality.
Located at Skarppakullantie 2, the chapel includes separate spaces for ceremonies, coffin reception, and technical facilities for body preparation and cremation.
The building contains a bronze sculpture titled 'De profundis' by Essi Renvall, standing as the sole artwork within the entrance hall.
