Introduction

The White Church, located on Helsinki's Senate Square, is a Lutheran church built in the early 1840s and is often the first impression many tourists have of Helsinki. The building's white exterior walls perfectly complement the light green dome's symmetrical bottom, and when the square is covered in snow, the church's outline is outlined by the lights. The White Church is also known for its beautiful murals and sculptures inside, which are worth taking the time to admire. Whether you're touring Helsinki or just passing by, take some time to appreciate this famous building.
