Kallio Church (1908-1912).
(Detail of the apse)
This Jugend style church is not really hidden from anyone, because it is located on one of the highest hills in urban Helsinki, with the height of 65 meters.
In my opinion, this
is not the masterpiece of architect Lars Sonck, but it still is a
monumental building and a local landmark in the City.
National Romanticism - Jugend - is a typical Finnish Dream. We wanted to create something heavy, elegant and lasting in the medieval spirit, using a lot of stones like in castles.
Technically these buildings are modern houses, just covered with a layer of natural-looking stone - creating a sense of monumental, continuous history.
