These cliffs have since been covered by buildings and pavement. With over 9,200 residents (as of December 2020) and 6,100 jobs (as of December 2015), Punavuori is one of the most densely populated areas in Helsinki, with more than 20,000 residents per square kilometer1.

It holds the distinction of being the largest stone church in Finland in terms of seating capacity. Here are some key details about this remarkable church: Location: Situated in the Ullanlinna district of Helsinki, St. John’s Church stands on a hill that was historically used for Midsummer bonfires. Midsummer, known as Juhannus in Finnish, is also referred to as “John’s Day” in honor of St. John. Architecture: The church was built between 1888 and 1891, making it the third Lutheran church in Helsinki. Its twin towers soar to a height of 74 meters (243 feet). With excellent acoustics, the church accommodates 2,600 people and hosts both services and large concerts. Altarpiece: The altarpiece depicts Saul’s conversion and is a painting called A Divine Revelation, created by Eero Järnefelt, who was the brother-in-law of the renowned composer Jean Sibelius2. Recent Renovation: In August 2022, the church underwent a six-month renovation. The gargoyles were repaired and renewed due to their deteriorating condition caused by Helsinki’s raw sea air and weather fluctuations4. Organ: The church’s organ, built in 1891 by the German company Walcker of Ludwigsburg, was the largest in the country at the time. It has since been expanded and renovated, now boasting 66 voices and 4036 whistles. Additionally, an English-style shell organ was installed in 2018, featuring nine voices and a movable soundboard. If you’re ever in Helsinki, a visit to St. John’s Church is a must—it’s a blend of architectural grandeur, historical significance, and cultural vibrancy!
