Kamppi Chapel

1 | A very interesting chapel in the center of Helsinki, notable for its unusual architectural design. It is made entirely of wood and has received several architectural awards. 2 | Unfortunately, we couldn’t go inside because it was Sunday. Strangely enough, the chapel is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Nevertheless, it is so remarkable that it’s worth seeing even from the outside. 3 | The entrance fee to the chapel is €5. I can’t really say whether it’s worth paying. 4 | The chapel was only opened in 2012, designed by the Finnish architectural studio K2S Architects. It is 11.5 meters high, and the section with the altar has no windows at all.

Interesting building made from a variety of woods. Inside it is very quiet if you are not inside with rude tourists! You are asked to be silent inside the chapel. It is just the chapel room, we were there maybe 10-15 minutes max so it’s easy to slot into a busy schedule and take a breather.

The Kamppi Chapel is a peaceful oasis in the middle of busy Helsinki. The wooden interior and soft lighting make it feel calm and welcoming, perfect for a quiet moment of reflection. A small but unforgettable spot — definitely worth a visit!

Very nice chapel. Of course, it’s quite a sight externally. €3 it cost to enter, which was fine. It’s a shame that pictures aren’t allowed inside, but it’s very beautiful. Silence must be observed.

The Kamppi Chapel, often called the “Chapel of Silence,” is a truly unique experience in the middle of busy Helsinki. The modern wooden architecture is stunning, and stepping inside feels instantly calming — a peaceful escape from the noise of the city. It’s not about religious services but about offering a quiet moment for reflection and stillness. A beautiful example of design meeting purpose, and a must-visit if you want a few minutes of tranquility during your trip.

Very small Chapel in the centre of Helsinki. Nicely designed mostly wood . Closed on a Sunday which I found odd for a religious building. Inside silence must be observed .

The Kamppi Chapel, also known as the Chapel of Silence, is a unique and serene space nestled in the bustling heart of Helsinki. On a sunny day, the chapel's wooden structure glows warmly, inviting visitors to step inside and escape the city's hustle and bustle. The chapel's minimalist design creates a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for quiet reflection and contemplation. The gentle curve of the wooden walls and the soft natural light filtering through the skylight create a sense of peace and calm. It's a place where you can truly disconnect from the outside world and find a moment of stillness. Located in the Kamppi district, the chapel is easily accessible by Helsinki Regional Transport (HSL) zones A and B. It's just a short walk from the Kamppi metro station and several bus and tram lines. This makes it a convenient stop for anyone exploring the city center. Whether you're seeking a moment of peace, an architectural experience, or simply a break from the city, the Kamppi Chapel is well worth a visit. Its serene atmosphere and central location make it a true gem in Helsinki.

Paying 5 euros for entry just to hear the noise from outside and sit on a rather uncomfortable seat. Would not recommend to visit, attached a picture of the inside for the one curious to see how it looks like inside.
