Kallio Church
Kallion kirkko
A granite National Romantic church designed by Lars Sonck. Its 65-metre tower is a landmark of the Kallio district.
Kallio Church was designed by architect Lars Sonck and completed in 1908–1912. Its grey granite exterior blends National Romanticism with Art Nouveau. The bell tower, about 65 metres tall, stands at the end of the Siltasaarenkatu axis and can be seen from many points in the city centre and the bay. The melody played by the bells was composed by Sibelius. Inside, the church is simple and bright, with a large organ, and concerts are often held here. Entry is free. Opening hours are roughly 12:00–18:00, and access may be restricted during services and events. The metro to Sörnäinen station is a five-minute walk away. Nearby, you can explore the café and second-hand shop streets of the neighbourhood.
