About
The Kaleva Church offers a visual counterpart to the more traditional stone churches in the city. Completed in 1966, the church was built for the Congregation of Kaleva, to satisfy the need for a place of worship. The spacious church hall is 30 metres high and 50 metres long. The cross-shaped bell tower on the roof sends out forceful sounds that can be heard surprisingly far away even in the bustle of the city.The church is often presented as a tourist attraction, but it also serves a large and active congregation. Services are held regularly, and often there are smaller gatherings on weekdays. Check website for more details.
