St Mary´s Chapel

St Mary's Chapel was designed by architect Hannele Arantola from Espoo. The basic idea was to create an atmosphere of holiness. In the design, she has combined modern construction and the old barrel vault structure used in the greystone churches (Southwest Finland and Satakunta) and the Lappish kota, which is especially visible in the appearance of the chapel. The colors of the chapel are related to the nature of Lapland: arctic blue, snow, and ice. At the same time, blue and white are Mary's colors. The floor is built of ceramic tiles. It mimics the atmosphere of old stone churches.

St Mary’s Chapel is open for prayers and visitors every day from 11.00 to 15.00. Prayer time daily at 13.00. On Wednesdays, the weekly Mass is held at 19.00.

The Chapel is a popular concert venue, as well as a popular site for wedding celebrations. Chapel reservations and information can be obtained from the Kittilä Parish Office.
