The church was designed by Alvar Aalto and completed in 1958.

[1] The church consists of three consecutive halls which can be separated by sliding walls; this enables parts of the church to be used for parish activities during the week.

The exterior of the church is white with a copper roofing.

[1] Docomomo has listed the church as a significant example of modern architecture in Finland.

[3] A committee designated by the Finnish Heritage Agency in 1998 to commemorate the centenary of Aalto's birth selected the church as one of the five most important buildings designed by Aalto.
