The best known and most imposing church in the Finnish capital. From the top of its steps, one dominates the square and the port.

Built according to the plans of Carl Ludvig Engel, it is the head of the Senate Square. Magnificent church, it offers a pleasant view of the city at the top of the stairs. Today of Lutheran denomination, it was first consecrated to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of merchants and navigators. Like those in St. Isaac's Church in St. Petersburg, its four cardinal pediments are decorated with the twelve apostles cast in zinc. Its name, Tuomiokirkko "Great Church" dates back to 1959.

Intérieur assez vide très typique de l'architecture luthérienne. Le paiement de la visite est volontaire.

A voir de nuit comme de jour.

Bâtiment emblématique d'Helsinki cette cathédrale toute blanche ne passe pas inaperçue. L'intérieur est très sobre avec avec pour simples ornements un retable, des grandes orgues et trois statues des figures de la réforme dont Martin Luther. Mais si vous êtes à Helsinki un 13 décembre ne manquez pas d'assister à la célébration de la Sainte Lucie.

assez dépouillé mais avec des formes néoclassiques attrayantes
au sommet d'un escalier raide (gelé en hiver) se trouve un point de vue sur la place réalisé par Engel pour se souvenir de Saint-Pétersbourg. L'intérieur n'a pas beaucoup d'intérêt si ce n'est les reliefs dorés de la chaire

Très impressionnante, elle vaut surtout pour l'imposante silhouette qu'elle impose au paysage !

Beautiful cathedral at the top of a series of walks that can be delicate to climb in winter!
