Hanko Church

Hanko Church is a church in the southernmost town in Finland. It was built in 1892 and designed by architect Bertel Liljeqvist. The church was damaged during the Second World War era as was the nearby Hanko Water tower as well but it was renovated in the early 1950s. There’s a beautiful Church park with a lot of flowers going uphill (quite many stairs) from the town center to the church (and old water tower which is just next to the church). The park is suitable for a picnic or there’s also kids playground. If you plan to visit Hanko, you can easily access the church from the church park via the stairs. During the summer months the church is often booked for weddings but they rarely last more than one hour at a time. You can plan your visit to go to the nearby water tower at the same time. There is no admission fee to the church but please be quiet inside the church. Since Hanko is a small town, the church is almost impossible to miss. #hanko #finland #church #historicculture#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer
