点评:The entrance was free of charge. Generosity was highlighted by offering also free drinking water in the middle of the church. One can light a candle for 0,50€. The church was open at 10-18. There was some misinformation about the time online (10-13).
The church is really large, as it has room for 1700-2000 people inside (the first number is found on a web site and the latter on the sign in the front yard). The building was designed by Sweden-born Carl Johan von Heideken in the 1860s , the same architect who drew Pori Art Museum building which is right nearby. The interior design of the church, and the famous top of the bell tower, are designed by originally Swedish Georg Chiewitz, the very same architect who planned Pori city after its latest larger fire, as well as Mariehamn and Uusikaupunki cities.
The altarpiece was painted by Robert W. Ekman in 1863.
The multicoloured glass windows are from 1925 by the famous Magnus Enckell. The memorial statue series in the honorary grave yard is designed by well known Aimo Tukiainen in 1952. Near the altar, there is a 2022 artpiece called Kastevirta ('babtismal stream') by Mikael Korkee (whose last name means 'high' in Finnish).
The church is taken good care of, it seems. I was very impressed.
翻译:教堂免费入场。教堂中央还提供免费饮用水,彰显了其慷慨。只需0.5欧元即可点燃一支蜡烛。教堂开放时间为10-18点。网上关于开放时间(10-13点)的信息存在一些误传。
教堂规模宏大,可容纳1700-2000人(第一个数字来自一个网站,第二个数字则来自前院的标牌)。教堂由瑞典出生的卡尔·约翰·冯·海德肯(Carl Johan von Heideken)于19世纪60年代设计,他也是附近波里艺术博物馆(Pori Art Museum)的设计者。教堂的室内设计以及著名的钟楼顶部均由瑞典裔建筑师格奥尔格·奇维茨(Georg Chiewitz)设计,他也是波里市(Pori)在最近一次大火后,以及玛丽港(Mariehamn)和新考蓬基(Uusikaupunki)等城市规划的建筑师。
祭坛画由罗伯特·W·埃克曼于1863年绘制。
彩色玻璃窗由著名的马格努斯·恩克尔于1925年创作。荣誉墓地中的纪念雕像系列由著名的艾莫·图基艾宁于1952年设计。祭坛附近有一幅2022年的艺术作品,名为《卡斯特维尔塔》(Kastevirta,意为“圣水溪”),由米凯尔·科尔基(他的姓氏在芬兰语中意为“高”)。
看来教堂维护得很好。我印象非常深刻。
