Photo and description

The Church of the Three Crosses was built in 1957. architect Alvar Aalto. It is perhaps the most unusual and attractive structure, made in the best architectural traditions of that time.

The church got its name thanks to three crosses depicted on the altar and symbolizing the crosses on the famous Mount Calvary.

Despite the fact that the building is built of ordinary concrete, the interior of the church is striking in its noble modesty: Italian marble, East Karelian woods and linen fabrics. The uniqueness of the church also lies in the truly amazing play of light and shadow. Of the hundreds of unusual windows, only two will be identical. The bell tower of the church has the shape of an arrow pointing upwards. There are 3 bells installed on it, one of which is from Jaska.

The primary purpose of creating such a church, located in a quiet and cozy place and surrounded by birches and pines, was to provide communication between God and the parishioners. Thus, nothing here distracts a person from his intentions.

The church is open for visits at any time, admission is free.
