During a 4 day weekend with Justine in Helsinki we visited different places, among others,
Helsinki Cathedral (Helsingin tuomiokirkko in Finnish). It is absolutely incredible. It is a cathedral of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church.
At first glance it overlooks the central square of Helsinki, which is also the Senate Square, the church turns its back on the district of Kruununhaka. In Ehrenström’s town plan, the rock to the north of the Senate Square is reserved for a Lutheran cathedral. The Cathedral was built between 1830 and 1852 on the site of the former Church of Ulrika Eleonora.
The interior of this cathedral is stunning, with large luxurious chandeliers decorating the ceiling.
Despite all the simplicity that emanates from this cathedral when we are inside. It is really a place to visit, where you can relax away from the hustle and bustle of the capital of Finland.
