Kamppi Chapel of Silence, Helsinki

Must visit for travelers and those who are seeking peace. Contemporary architectural design mostly made out of Finnish wood. You will really find peace once you enter in. There is a street market right outside of this modern church but after going inside it's completely quiet.

The place has been built with a lovely idea. It provides help and support to those who need it. This was my personal favourite in Helsinki trip. Inside the chapel is a very quiet place for some peace and reflection. Interesting architecture as well !!!

A must see when visiting Helsinki. This chapel is located in the middle of a busy square in downtown Helsinki. Yet, when you get inside, you will not hear a thing. The style of the chapel is inspiring. The ambiance is welcoming and serene. A great place to escape from reality for a few minutes and relax. When we visited there was no one inside, so we were able to enjoy the silence for a few minutes.

Contrarily to other churches these days who are money-making machines for tourists, this tiny chapel was built with a legitimate and beautiful purpose. It is intended to be a “refuge” in the city and it provides support and help to anyone who needs it. You can go in for a meditative session, a break to organize your thoughts or even have an anonymous conversation with a staff member if you need to talk. All for free.

Built in a busy street in Helsinki City centre, this is a refuge of tranquility. Although as it is a tourist attraction with free entry, the peace is hard come by, with doors opening and closing and people fidgeting. Once it settles (like a pond free of ripples) the silence is absolutely worth the wait.
