In summertime they have different handicraft demonstrations and guidings almost every day and there are sheep and hen you can meet.

Had my first wine and bread there and I wanted to get married in this church but I got married in another country. Still to this day when I return to Helsinki, I always go in, sit there a moment and say a prayer. Visiting Johanneksenkirkko is my pilgrimage and I can highly recommend paying a visit to this beautiful architectural building.

As I write this review, I have no idea about the origin or story of this statue. I suspect that some folks aren't too pleased with this piece of art. Personally, I am a fan! I mean.....who hasn't been a bad bad boy in real life. I know that I can relate!
