The old church from 1777 was destroyed in the big Oulu fire in 1822. The current stone cathedral was completed in 1832 over the ruins of the old church. It was made according to the neoclassical designs of the famous architect Carl Ludvig Engel who also designed the Helsinki Cathedral. The interior is very beautiful.
