The Vaasa Holy Trinity Church (Finnish: Vaasan kirkko; Swedish: Vasas trefaldighetskyrkan), or simply the Vaasa Church, is a church located in the city center of Vaasa in Ostrobothnia, Finland.[2] The 900-seat red-brick church, designed by architect Carl Axel Setterberg, was completed in 1869.[1]
Vaasa Church is a long church with three naves. In terms of style, the church mainly represents English Gothic. There are three altarpieces in the church, each painted by Albert Edelfelt, R. W. Ekman and Louis Sparre.[1][3] There are a total of about 900 seats in the hall and galleries of the church, and 130 in the crypt downstairs. The church's 45-voice main pipe organ was acquired in 1975 and is manufactured by the Danish company Marcussen & Søn.[4]
