Church of the Three Crosses

The Church of the Three Crosses is an architectural structure that was built and designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto in 1957. In 1958, the church was consecrated by Bishop Mikkeli Martti Simojoki. On the altar of this church are depicted three crosses, which mean crosses standing on the mountain of Calvary and it is because of this that the church received its name of the Three Crosses.

The church itself is built of ordinary concrete, but inside the building everything is different, since East Karelian wood species, linen finish, Italian marble were used for the arrangement. And the most amazing thing about it is that out of a hundred windows you can find only two similar windows, thanks to which the play of light and shadow becomes amazing. And lamps of amazing shape and size and installed at different heights give even more charm.
