Picture of the day

Helsinki Cathedral is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The church was originally built as a tribute to Nicholas I, the Grand Duke of Finland and Tsar of Russia, and until the independence of Finland in 1917, it was called St. Nicholas' Church. Designed by Carl Ludvig Engel to form the climax of the whole Senate Square, it was built in 1830–52 in neoclassical style. Today the cathedral is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki, with more than 350,000 visitors per year, a minority of which are there to attend religious events.Photo: Hans Hillewaert

Designed by Carl Ludvig Engel to form the focal point of Senate Square, it was built from 1830 to 1852 in the Neoclassical style. The church's plan forms a Greek cross (a square centre and four equilateral arms), symmetrical in each of the four cardinal directions. The cathedral is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki, with more than half a million visitors in 2018.
