Show sight on map

Huopalahti Church is located in Etelä-Haaga, Helsinki, and it belongs to Haaga parish. The church began its activities in 1917 in a building that had previously served as a school and before that as a meeting place for Finnish speakers. Its use as a church was supposed to be temporary, as Eliel Saarinen had planned a new church in the area, but it was never built. With the abandonment of Hakavuori Church, Huopalahti Church is currently the only church in Haaga Parish.
