Savor a moment of quiet reflection or prayer inside the contemporary Kamppi Chapel of Silence. While it seems to contradict its surroundings, this site is nicknamed the "Chapel of Silence." Built on one of the busiest streets in Helsinki, the chapel provides a calming atmosphere inside a tranquil space positioned in an otherwise hectic area. Step inside the chapel, which welcomes people of all faiths. Examine the contemporary architecture, designed as a part of the World Design Capital program of 2012 by Kimmo Lintula, Niko Sirola, and Mikko Summanen.

  Probably the most beautiful small reflection place in the world. Easy to access, open all year round, the beautiful minimalist design, fresh, clean, unassuming, respectful, and with a great location in Helsinki downtown. The best part is that they do not allow pictures. You have to be there to feel the tranquility and reset your mind

  It was smaller than I envisaged and I was not blown away by the insides. It would have been a better experience if people remembered to close the door so the silence can truly be experienced. Having said that, it was great to find a place where I could soak up a tiny bit of silence during my manic day. It is worth a visit too.
