Kuokkala Church
Kuokkalan kirkko
A contemporary church completed in 2010, with a rough stone exterior and an all-wood interior of ribbed arches. It is a celebrated example of modern Finnish church architecture.
Kuokkala Church, designed by Lassila Hirvilammi Architects and completed in 2010, has an irregular exterior of slate-clad volumes. Its interior is a warm space formed by spruce-wood ribbed arches, with light falling in through side windows, and it has won several architecture awards. It is in the Kuokkala district on the south shore of Lake Jyväsjärvi, about 3 km from the city centre across Kuokkala Bridge, and is usually open to visitors on weekday daytimes.
