Kulosaari Church (Finnish: Kulosaaren kirkko, Swedish: Brändö kyrka) is a Lutheran church located in the Kulosaari suburb of Helsinki, Finland.
The Kulosaari parish was established in 1921, and the planning for a church began immediately; however, it took more than a decade before the current church building was completed in 1935.[2][1]
The church is located on top of the tallest hill in Kulosaari, and became soon after its completion known locally as "the Temple on the Hill".[1]
