2 Days In Helsinki

"Completed in 1826, the Lutheran Old Church was only ever meant to be temporary. As Helsinki experienced rapid population growth in the early 19th-century, the city’s existing church couldn’t cope with the growing congregation. Plans were drawn up for a new, larger building, but significant delays in construction meant a quick solution was necessary." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team

There are some very beautiful churches in the inner city of Helsinki. Old Church, almost 200 years old masterpiece of ecclesiastical art, is one of them. I have to confess, I have some difficulties to relate completely objectively to Old Church. As a child, my school was next door to Old Church and pupils of the school were forced to go to the church at least two times a year. Simply: Forced. It tells about the position which Christianity not so long time ago had in Finland. It was not, indeed, a religion of choice. But I cannot deny the aesthetic value of Old Church. At the summer time it's a white glowing pearl in the green sea surrounding the church. The inside of the chuch is tresses the majestic power which the church even today has. Religious buildings are always expressions power, they are built within the dominant dogma, that is, within intentions of builders. Lines of flight are as scarce as possible - but when playing with aesthetism, with Sublime, it creates always a situation, spirituality versus dogma, and where as dogma is always artificial and temporal, spiritual is something nameless, outside of time. And in the end, thus seen, in its aesthetism, white glowing Old Church is glowing something outside of time.

We stopped in Helsinki while on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea. We spent the day walking around the city on a self guided tour using google maps. While walking around, we passed by the Helsinki Old Church. We did not go inside and just walked around the area.

A small church with a super organ. Very comfortable, nice, and a good place. I visited for a concert. Many people were so grateful, thank you very much for the French Embassy and the French Institute for the event organization.
