Finska Kyrkan

This is the oldest building on this particular street. It was built in the 17th century and has since 1725 been the place where the Finnish congregation hold their services. There is something rather funny about the fact that it's housed in the "Small Ball House", which anyone with a bit of slapstick humor or just a Freudian wit might appreciate. Unfortunately the Small Ball House got it's name for purely practical purposes, it was used as a ball house before it was reborn as a church. That doesn't make it any less funny though.

Jokes aside, this is a really interesting church that feels historical and meaningful. Many wise words have been spoken here and the Finnish are proud of the place for a reason. It is definitely worth a visit any day, but on Sundays you can catch a service in Finnish at 11 AM too.
