Töölö Church (Finnish: Töölön kirkko, Swedish: Tölö kyrka) is a Lutheran church in the Taka-Töölö district of Helsinki, Finland. The building represents Nordic Classicism and was designed by Hilding Ekelund following an architectural competition. Completed in 1930, it originally served as a parish center and was dedicated as a church when Töölö parish was created in 1941.[1]
The church main hall seats 400 people. There are also two parish meeting halls for 70 and 20 people.[1]
Töölö Church reopened in early 2016 after three and a half years of renovations.[2]
Töölö Church contains many pieces of art, including:[1]
