Helsinki's symbol, the Lutheran Cathedral (Tuomiokirkko)

Helsinki Cathedral (in Finnish Helsingin tuomiokirkko ) is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral located in the center of Helsinki, Finland. The church was originally built as a tribute to the Grand Duke, Nicholas I, the Tsar of Russia and until the independence of Finland in 1917, it was called St. Nicholas' Church.


The cathedral is a distinct landmark in the scenery of central Helsinki, with a tall green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, it was built in 1830-1852, in neoclassical style. designed by Carl Ludvig Engel, to form the climax of the whole Senate Square laid out by Engel, surrounded by a number of buildings all designed by him. The building has a Greek-cross plan (i.e. a square central mass and four arms of equal length), and is symmetrical in each of the four cardinal directions, each marked by a colonnade and pediment. Engel had intended to place a further row of columns on the west end to mark the main entrance (opposite the altar at the east end), but this was never realized. The building was later altered by his successor Ernst Lohrmann,. he also erected two separately standing bell towers and zinc statues of the Twelve Apostles at apexes and corners of the roofline.
Today the cathedral is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki.
