Worth of Visit, Turku, Finland (reviewed October, 2005)

Pyhän Henrikin ekumeeninen taidekappeli – Wooden art chapel

The newest church in Turku is a wooden chapel built with donations from the people and organisations around Finland. The chapel has very striking architecture, and it has raised attention in architecture exhibitions.

Wooden art chapel in Turku

The interior is made completely of wood, and it looks like being inside an capsized boat. The outside is covered in copper. This creates a nice juxtaposition between the interiors and the exteriors.

The chapel is open every day 12-18 and there is no entrance fee.
