Earlier this year, when I was doing a small trip around Scandinavia, my last stop was Helsinki. Without any travel maps or pre-set idea to venture places and with spontaneous mind-set, I took a train directly to Helsinki central. As I was finding my way to the entrance of the Kampi shopping center, I stumbled upon of what I would refer to as “the spectacular yet simple architectural masterpiece” within the most unexpected busiest part of Helsinki. A ‘Chapel” whose sole purpose is to relax and calm yourself and have the perfect moment of silence!
Situated on the Narinkka Square in central Helsinki, the oval shape building has a unique yet challenging design with respect to the entire planned urban space all around. Surrounded by upscale shopping centers, restaurants/ cafes, hotels and office buildings with known architectural design configuration, this building stands out as an exemplary mark on central urban fabric of the city!
It seems we often find the best places when we travel without a plan.
We absolutely does! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

I visited Helesinki recently but I was unable to go inside because it was closed. I was happy at least to see it from the outside because its quiet an extraordinary design.
It’s great that you were able to experience even from outside. Even thought it’s a small building but the design is just Amazing! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
