Enough of Helsinki's churches, this one is Michael's Church in Turku.
The church is situated in central Turku. It's named after Archangel Michael and was finished in 1905. It dominates the western skyline of the city of Turku was designed by Professor Lars Sonck and is one of the most popular wedding churches in Turku being able to seat 1,800 people. When Sonck won the competition for the church in 1894, he was only a 23-year old architectural student. Michael's Church is older than Michael's parish. The parish only dates back to 1921. - in: wikipedia
