Sightseeing: German Church in Helsinki




Deutsche Evangelisch-Lutherische Gemeinde in Finnland is the congregation 
of German speaking population in Finland, having today about 3000 members. 
It belongs to The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. 

The style of German Church from 1864 is Neo-Gothic, 
it is of red brick and was designed by Harald von Bosse ja C. J. von Heideken.




We have celebrated a family wedding in this church.
The day was warm and sunny and the summer at its best when my husband’s son
and his beautiful bride said I do ❤︎ The most popular wedding churches
have to be reserved months in advance.


I made for the bride a simple cascade bridal bouquet of white Phalaenopsis orchids.
It was a bit like this but had more curly grass. Photo: Flowers of the Field


The church is situated in a wealthy part of the city and surrounded by 
beautiful residential houses & a lush green park.

  1. Riitta - this church is beautiful and seems to have combined the best of gothic and modern styles (such as the white interior). What a blessing to attend a wedding in this church, and even more so for it to be your wedding. I hope this blessing stays with them for years to come. Thanks for sharing the bouquet you made with all of us at Mosaic Monday!

  8. ...this church would look at home here in Rochester, NY with its large German population. The architecture in Helsinki is delightful as is Leonard Cohen! Thanks Riitta for stopping by, enjoy your week.
