===Rest of Europe=== [[File:20140724 Parlamentsgebäude (Wien).jpg|thumb|The [[Austrian Parliament Building]] in [[Vienna]]]] The style was generally popular in northern Europe, and not in the south (except for Greece itself), at least during the main period. Examples can be found in Poland, Lithuania, and Finland, where the assembly of Greek buildings in [[Helsinki]] city centre is particularly notable. At the cultural edges of Europe, in the Swedish region of western Finland, Greek Revival motifs might be grafted on a purely [[Baroque architecture|Baroque design]], as in the design for [[Oravais]] Church by Jacob Rijf, 1792. A Greek Doric order, rendered in the anomalous form of [[pilaster]]s, contrasts with the hipped roof and boldly scaled cupola and lantern, of wholly traditional Baroque inspiration. In Austria, one of the best examples of this style is the [[Austrian Parliament Building|Parliament Building]] designed by [[Theophil Hansen]].
