Lasipalatsi

Lasipalatsi, the “Glass Palace,” is a 1930s Functionalist landmark on Mannerheimintie whose public-facing exterior and square now sit alongside cinemas, cafés and cultural venues.

Lasipalatsi

Why go

The building makes a concise architecture stop in Kamppi because its clean facade survived despite being conceived as temporary. Look at how the low, horizontal structure addresses Lasipalatsi Square, then connect that Functionalist shell with its long association with film and media.

What to look for

  • The streamlined 1930s facade is one of central Helsinki’s clearest Functionalist compositions.
  • Bio Rex recalls the building’s long role in Finnish film culture.
  • Lasipalatsi Square opens a broad view of the protected exterior.

Useful to know

  • The exterior landmark and square are publicly accessible; Amos Rex and individual tenants keep separate hours.
  • The building stands on Mannerheimintie in the Kamppi district.
