The Helsinki Finland Temple (Шаблон:Lang-fi, Шаблон:Lang-sv) is the 124th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Unlike the church's regular meetinghouses, where weekly worship services are held and visitors are welcome, the temple is open only to church members who hold a current temple recommend.

Located at Leppäsillantie 3 in Espoo, the Helsinki Finland Temple has a total of Шаблон:Convert, two ordinance rooms, and four sealing rooms. It once served the church's largest geographical temple district, which included Finland, the Baltic states, and all of Russia.[1] It was the final temple dedicated during the church presidency of Gordon B. Hinckley and the last dedicated by him.

History

The church's First Presidency announced on April 2, 2000 that a temple would be built near Helsinki in Espoo, Finland.

On March 29, 2003, a site dedication and groundbreaking ceremony were held in Karakallio, a district of Espoo. D. Lee Tobler, of the church's Second Quorum of the Seventy, presided at the ceremony and gave the site dedication prayer.

An open house was held September 21 to October 7, 2006 to allow the public to tour the temple prior to its dedication.[1] The temple was dedicated on October 22, 2006 by Hinckley, after a cultural celebration was held the evening before.[2]

In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Helsinki Finland Temple was closed for a time in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
