Hyvinkää Church (Finnish: Hyvinkään kirkko, Swedish: Hyvinge kyrka), also known as The New Church of Hyvinkää, is a modernist church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland,[1] located in the town of Hyvinkää, Finland. It was designed by architect Aarno Ruusuvuori and built in 1961.[2]
Description
The church is 32 metres (105 ft) high and has 630 seats downstairs and 250 upstairs.[2] The surface area of the church is 1,779 square metres (19,150 sq ft). Wide windows produce the lighting, behind the altar is a large window. The pyramid-like construction caused some criticism at the time.[3]
The organ was built in 1977 by Hans Heinrich and has 35 stops.[2]
