Uspenski Cathedral - Helsinki, Finland

Located in the city centre of Helsinki, the Uspenski Cathedral is also one of the most famous structure in Finland. This is a Greek Orthodox cathedral, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary). It was built in 1868. It was a pity during my trip, the cathedral was closed thus unable to go inside. But if you’re in Helsinki, I would recommend you heading in to have a look, as admission is free! #tripblazers #helsinki #finland #cathedral #darwintravel #europe

Built between 1862 and 1868, the Uspenski Cathedral is striking in its golden-green domes and red brick walls, with Russian architecture. Perhaps most people think that its name is hard to remember, and more people like to call the Red Church here. The color and style of the red church are full of mysterious colors. The thirteen golden domes of the church, and the quaint red brick faade, between the contours of the city of Helsinki, highlight the traces left by Russia in the Finnish religion. The conspicuous gold domes and red-brick churches are extraordinarily dignified, and the two large trees next to each other are in harmony with the church, which is a testimony to the infiltration of Russian customs into Finnish history. It is said that these 13 golden domes represent Jesus and his 12 disciples. The largest golden dome in the middle represents Jesus. The cost is about 80,000 Euros. The 12 small gold domes around him cost around 4 to 60,000 Euros. The 13 gold-plated onion-headed gold domes were re-plated by the Orthodox Church in 2008 and then installed. The red bricks in the main part of the building were fired in a brick factory in northern Finland and shipped here. The interior of the red church is even more amazing than the outside! The sculpted vaults and granite pillars are the two main features of the Uspensky Cathedral. The paintings inside the church were completed by Russian painters, completely retaining the artistic style of the traditional Orthodox Church. It is the largest Greek Orthodox church on Scandinavia. Churches in Europe are cumbersome and heavy, like a piece of art, but with a unique soul.
