: Located in Helsinki, Finland is the Temppeliaukio Church aka ‘the Rock Church’. The Lutheran Church built in a massive block of natural granite is a popular attraction with over 500,000 annual visitors. Natural light floods the interior through 180 vertical glass window panes that connect the dome and granite wall. Overall, the building is a great visit for anybody with a great eye for amazing architecture.
