    A small walk uphill towards the golden domes. Church looks a bit run down from outside. Inside is better, with much to see.

    A beautiful Russian cathedral that you can see from many different parts of Helsinki due to the hill it’s built on. The architecture is also quite unique compared to other buildings in the city so it’s a refreshing visit. The inside is equally as beautiful and if you have the chance I’d recommend. There was a service going on while I was there so only got a bit of a glimpse from the side.
  • By JérÔme Clarysse
    Beautiful cathedral (orthodox) There are some works… but we can see the beauty of the monument. Beautiful painting and orthodox art. Entrance free.
