..WHAT TO DO
The administrative and cultural center of Seinäjoki is one the most substantial works of architect Alvar Aalto. The center, which has an influential and timeless design language, was mainly completed between the years 1960-1968 and is comprised out of six buildings. The first to be built was the church, Lakeuden Risti (Cross of the Plains church). The last to be built was the theater building in 1987. Seinäjoki is where you have the chance to go and admire this wonderful architectural whole and rare group of buildings – rare both on Finnish and global scale.
