Mikael Agricola Church

Mikael Agricola Church is a Lutheran church in the Punavuori district of Helsinki, Finland. It is named after bishop Mikael Agricola. The church was designed by architect Lars Sonck and built from 1933 to 1935, opening on 14 April 1935.

The building is made of red brick. Its tower is 97 meters tall, reaching 103 meters above sea level. The 30-meter spike at the top can be retracted to fit inside the tower; this was done during the Winter War and the Continuation War so the tower wouldn’t help enemy bombers.

Inside, the church hall seats 850 people. The crypt can be used for events for about 200 people. It is part of the Helsinki Diocese and the Helsinki Cathedral Parish.
