Holy Trinity Church, Vaasa
Vaasan kirkko / Trefaldighetskyrkan
A neo-Gothic red-brick church completed in 1869 to a design by Setterberg, whose spire is the most striking landmark on the city centre skyline.
Holy Trinity Church was built as Vaasa's main church after the city was relocated. Designed by architect Carl Axel Setterberg, it was brought into use in 1862 and formally consecrated in 1869. Its red-brick neo-Gothic façade and tall spire mark the city centre skyline. The interior is spacious and bright, with a wooden vaulted ceiling and fine stained-glass windows. The church stands on the seaside park side of the city centre, a five-minute walk from Market Square, and can be linked with the Ostrobothnian Museum and City Hall on a walking route. In summer it is generally open to visitors during the day, and admission is free, but please keep quiet during services.
Opening hours
Summer about 10:00–15:00 (per parish announcements)
