On top of the hill at the end of Siltasaarenkatu. The church is built of grey granite (1912) and its massive looks dominate the view from Hakaniemi. It was designed by Finnish architect Lars Sonck. The church has both baroque and French romantic organs and concerts are organized frequently. The bells ring at noon and 19:00 with a tune composed by Jean Sibelius.
Kallio Church is a Lutheran church in the Kallio district of Helsinki, Finland. It was designed by Lars Sonck and represents National Romanticism with Art Nouveau influences. The National Romantic style appears in the use of traditional Finnish materials and in the church's massive, gray granite body, as well as in nature-inspired colours and decorative motifs.

Sauna Arla
Old public sauna in Kallio. Separate saunas for men and women. Washing service and traditional bloodletting (kuppaus) also available.
The green parks and small apartment buildings on the top of a hill and in the centre of Finland's densest-populated neighbourhood are protected as an exemplary early-20th century working-class cultural environment. Around, you will find a former university at Franzéninkatu 13 and a former technical school at Agricolankatu 1-3, as well as small cafes, bars and restaurants.
This is the last wood-burning public sauna in Helsinki. Separate saunas for men and women. There's a good chance you'll find a top level chess match in the dressing room. Don't miss cooling off outside, especially in winter. On Saturdays you'll find bachelor parties (Kotiharju is pretty near to Kallio's nightlife).
