Description of the attraction
The Church of the Three Crosses was built in 1957. by architect Alvar Aalto. It represents, perhaps, the most unusual and attractive structure, made in the best architectural traditions of that time.
The church got its name thanks to the three crosses depicted on the altar and symbolizing the crosses on the famous Mount Calvary.
Despite the fact that the building is built of ordinary concrete, the interior of the church is amazing with its noble modesty: Italian marble, East Karelian woods and linen fabrics. The uniqueness of the church also lies in the truly amazing play of light and shadow. Of the hundreds of unusual windows, only two will be identical. The bell tower of the church has the shape of an arrow pointing upwards. It has 3 bells, one of which is from Yaska.
The primary goal of creating such a church, located in a quiet and comfortable place and surrounded by birches and pines, was to provide communication between God and the parishioners. Thus, nothing here distracts a person from his intentions.
The church is open to the public at any time, admission is free.
