The beacon in the church tower, which is still in use today, emits a series of 4 short flashes of light. These stand for the letter “H” in Morse Code for Helsinki.

The Suomenlinna-Kirkko was built between 1850 and 1854 as an Orthodox church. A good half a century later, in the 1920s, it was converted into an Evangelical Lutheran church.

There is a lighthouse at the top of the church.
