This is one of the entrances to the church in the Old Town.
And this is the church!
The church actually had been burnt by an arsonist in 2006? They rebuilt almost the entire church!
It's SO beautiful!
And now a messy, out of whack collage of the Finnish flowery!!
There are just a bunch of different shops here too! Clothes shops, cafes, flower shops.. in fact, I think that that store has something to do with cheese buuuuuut I'm not 100% sure... :P There are a million cute cafes and dessert shops, OH and there's a Brunberg's shop too! They are these aaaaaamazing chocolate manufactorer and we have both the shop in Old Town and we have the ACTUAL factory too!
