The red brick used for building it, make it unique and visible from far away.

Beautiful Cathedral. Wasn't able to go inside, but it looks great on the outside. There's a small park next to it.

Worth a visit if you can and easy to reach by public transport. Try to catch a concert there if you have a chance.

It's so surprising to see an ornate orthodox church amongst the severe, straight lined, Lutheran ones in Finland! The church is very imposing and, in the winter's days, surrounded by snow and half hidden in the mist, it looks as it came out of a fairy tale book. Worth a visit!

A beautiful, imposing cathedral, externally with expansive views across the city and, internally a large open space strikingly illuminated by large windows in the walls and domes. Slightly disappointed that tourists were hemmed into just one side and unable to wander around, however, it was clearly in use by worshippers. Immobile visitors may find the trek uphill challenging.
