The Finnish Seamanschurch is located in the heart of the city of Rotterdam in a beautiful building on the 's Gravendijkwal. The building holds the name Finse huis, which translates to Finnish house. It is the gathering place for Finnish people (and their friends). Next to the religious activities there are also many other social gatherings. Not only does the building have a church, also a shop (with Finnish products), a sauna and a cafeteria to enjoy a meal together. The building or parts of the building can be rented for business meetings / parties.
According to their website :
"The Finnish Seamen´s Mission in Rotterdam is also open to all the friends of Finland. The church is happy to help all those who find themselves in trouble – even when the trouble is the lack of Finnish black rye bread, or just the need to relax in a Finnish sauna! We are here for everyone.
As an organisation and as a church, the Finnish Seamen’s Mission co-operates with the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Finland, and observes its confessional Christian, social, cultural and diaconic work among seafarers and Finns living abroad, and carries out international Christian work at Finnish ports."
