Pohjola Building

This is the Pohjola Building, designed by Eliel Saarinen and built in 1901. The abundant decorative sculpture on the building is the work of Hilda Flodin. It’s my favorite building in Helsinki.

  2. Great sculptures from a beautiful building. I only wish it was in a more open space to appreciate it even more.
