The church is one of the projects of the Design Capital in 2012. It was completed in 2015 and designed by artists KimmoLintula, NikoSirola and MikkoSummanen.

"I thought about looking around the vicinity of Kampi Station, so I visited it, but I don't think I can enter now.. I think the surrounding area is under construction with the Amos Rex Museum of Art."
"I used to call it a cask church because it was too big and it felt like it was made of wood. It was small, with a few rows of chairs, a small podium, no photos, no talking, probably the name. Located in the downtown area, next to the big shopping mall, there is a very unique shape on the entrance square. I didn't know what the building was, it was very special. Not far from Helsinki Railway Station anyway, the whole city is not big."
"Helsinki silent church, no photos are allowed inside, no talking, at that moment you and I sit and listen to the voice of self. The space design combining natural materials and modern materials has always been my favorite [love]"
"The silent church is located in the center of Helsinki, on the Narinkka Square in Kamppi district. It is a solid wood structure designed church. This wooden church gives citizens a quiet prayer place, the purpose of the building is to be peaceful, hope that people who enter the church can focus on prayer from the heart and honesty. The exterior wall is teak, the interior is a red poplar wood, and the seat is a simple seat made of ash trees. At the end of 2013, it was rated as \"the ten new landmarks of the world that must be visited\"."
"The silent church (Kamppi Chapel of Silence) in the shape of a wooden barrel is the most unique, most eye-catching, and least like a church building, but it is the modern building of the church. Don't look down on this big wooden cask-like church, which was one of the projects designed in 2012, and was named \"Ten New World Landmarks\" by the US \"Today News Network\" at the end of 2013 and another innovation in Finland's innovative wooden structure. Here, from lively to quiet, only one step away. Next to it is a shopping center, in the church, feel the warm sunshine projected from the boards, touch the simple seats made of ash trees, breathe fresh and pure air, and have a special flavor."
"Monsters \"silent churches\" rise up in the small squares of the city center, with wooden interiors and ceilings separating the noise of the streets and can sit quietly (tng) in a daze. The silent church is just as its name is, both trendy and solemn, dare not speak softly, even less dare to shout, I have to say the silent church! Too feel"
