It’s a beautiful cathedral which was constructed with recycle bricks due to budget restrains. Although it’s modest size, the cathedral is fitted very elegantly with beautiful paintings and decorations. Be mindful not to use your camera flash inside as there are many valuable artwork. Give yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to enjoy this spectacular building.

Lovely church, the outside is more impressive than the inside to be honest but going in have us a peaceful and calming feeling, which cannot be achieved by every church you visit. Coming from Romania, where churches are very detailed and overly decorated on the inside, this one felt simple but made with a good taste.

It was a very beautiful Cathedral both inside and outside. It was about a 5-10 minute walk from the main Helsinki Cathedral, but worth the walk for the view. The inside was filled with the smell of incense for anyone with a sensitivity.

Beautiful cathedral (orthodox) There are some works… but we can see the beauty of the monument. Beautiful painting and orthodox art. Entrance free.

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.
