Uspenskin Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali)

Reviewed By Lil0G

This cathedral for me was the most beautiful architecture, the largest orthodox cathedral in Western Europe, the golden Coppola, the contrast of the red brick with the green is amazing, inside is so beautiful too.

Cathedral of Porvoo

Reviewed By OliwaVasicek - Helsinki, Finland

Lovely church that is more middle ages Anglo Saxon than typical finnish countryside church. We were lucky enough that the massive historical organ was being played as we visited... quite magical.

Pyhan Laurin kirkko

This beautiful sixteenth-century church in Vantaa is one of the most popular wedding churches in the Helsinki region, and the third-biggest granite church in Finland with unusually rich painted decorations. The church is also known for its excellent acoustics. The annual Vantaa Baroque Week is one of the many musical events arranged here.

The Church of St. Lawrence is a church in Vantaa dating back to 1450. It is the oldest building in Vantaa. The Helsingin pitäjä district is one of the best-preserved historical parishes in Finland. There are many old houses around the church area. The medieval church was badly destroyed in a fire in 1893, after which it was reconstructed in a Gothic Revival style. The church got Neo-Gothic style tapered windows, pulpit, benches, galleries, and a copper roof. The church is a very popular wedding church and venue for concerts.

Johannes Church

Reviewed By Lemmus

The twin towers of the church can be seen for miles so it's easy to find. The neo Gothic design is not in keeping with the surrounding area but I found the building very attractive. It's off the beaten path so not swarming with visitors and their selfie sticks (I have a thing about people who just take pictures without ever actually looking at what they are taking pictures of). Inside, it's quite spare as is usual for a Lutheran church. Music was playing (Sibelius - of course!) from somewhere which added to the atmosphere. The entrance door sticks and requires a firm pull - perhaps some of the disappointed reviewers didn't pull hard enough?

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

Espoo Cathedral is a medieval stone church from the 1480s. The interior is exceptionally beautiful. The vaults and walls of the older parts are decorated with striking murals.
