The Helsinki Finland Temple (Finnish: Helsingin temppeli, Swedish: Templet i Helsingfors) 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 19,500 square feet (1,810 m2), 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.
