Heinolan kirkko - Heinola, Finland - Octagon Buildings on Waymarking.com

In theological terms, six walls of the church symbolize the six days of Creation, the seventh the day of rest, and the eight wall symbolizing eternity.

There are two altarpieces in the church, both of them painted by Robert Wilhelm Ekman in 1863 and having themes of the Way of the Cross and the Resurrection. The oval stained-glass piece of the Birth of Christ is a German work from 1925. The stained-glass window is by Karin Mascitti-Slotte from 1963 and shows life in Heinola under the blessing hands of God. The church seats approximately 450.
