Tapiola Church (Finnish: Tapiolan kirkko, Swedish: Hagalunds kyrka) is a Lutheran church in the Tapiola district of Espoo, Finland. The modernist concrete building in brutalist style was designed by the architect Aarno Ruusuvuori and opened in 1965.[1] The church seats 600 people and is thus the largest in Espoo by capacity.[1]
The church is part of the garden city of Tapiola which is internationally famous for its architecture[2] and listed as a nationally significant built cultural heritage site by the National Board of Antiquities.[3] Docomomo has also selected Tapiola as a significant example of modern architecture in Finland.[4]
