Helsingin Tuomiokirkko, or Helsinki Cathedral, is one of the architectural must-see sites on every tourist guidebook to Helsinki. It’s a Lutheran church, so there’s not much statuary and no stained glass. I didn’t go inside, and in fact wasn’t even planning on stopping here originally. The church was built between 1830 and 1852 and was designed by the German architect Carl Ludvig Engel (1778–1840), who is responsible for many of Old Helsinki’s monumental buildings; it was later altered by Ernst Lohrmann (1803–1870).
