Like the windows, there are also 18 entrances to the building. These concrete u’s are all slightly different. Because at the time many grain elevators in Finland were built with slip forming, the church got the nicknames “Silo of the Souls” and “Viljanen’s Silo” (referring to the Vicar Paavo Viljanen). The 35 m (115 ft)-high walls were cast in 12 days.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
