Built in 1868, the Orthodox rite cathedral is a superb example of the Byzantine-Slavic style. From the esplanade, the view is breathtaking. It was built according to the plans of the architect A.M. Gornoschtaev. At the time, two distinct notables' cultures coexisted: Swedish-speaking Finns and Russian notables. As for the Finnish-speaking population, which was the majority, it gradually imposed its views at the end of the 19th century. It remains the most important Greek Orthodox church in Western Europe and is still standing.

Superbe église très représentative de l'architecture orthodoxe.
La visite du quartier Art Nouveau de Katajanokka vaut également la peine.

A la blancheur de la cathédrale luthérienne répond, sur l'île de Katajanokka voisine, la brique rouge de la cathédrale orthodoxe Ouspenski coiffée des traditionnels bulbes dorés. A l'intérieur une merveilleuse iconostase.

plus intéressant que celui luthérien
également en haut d'un escalier, l'intérieur est parsemé d'icônes comme toute église orthodoxe qui se respecte. L'extérieur en brique a son pourquoi.

belle visite
Cathédrale qui domine la place du marché aux poissons et se situe donc au coeur de Helsinki. Entrée gratuite. Très bel iconostase.
