[edit] Overview
The First Presidency of the Church 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 presided at the ceremony and gave the site dedication prayer.
An open house was held September 21 - 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 Gordon B. Hinckley, after a cultural celebration was held on the evening before.[2]
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 geographically largest temple district of the church, which included Finland, the Baltic states, and all of Russia.[1]
