Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Helsinki Cathedral, located in front of the Parliament Square, is the most famous building in Helsinki. The green vault is very eye-catching. No matter which corner of the city, you can see this extraordinary white and green roof building, so it is also known as the Helsinki Cathedral. "Whitechapel". Historical background The church was designed by the German architect CLEngel. The location is more than 80 meters above the sea level. You can see it at a glance from the sea. The cathedral is a famous building in Helsinki and has a special place in the hearts of Finns. Therefore, Finnish couples want to hold their wedding here, and even need to make an appointment a year and a half in advance. Architectural beauty The magnificent building has many exquisite murals and sculptures. In winter, heavy snow covered the square in front of the church, the warm lights came on, and the whole church was holy. Whenever the church bell rings, the whole square is silent, and many tourists quietly feel this precious moment of peace of mind that only religion can bring. The graduation ceremony of the seminary of the University of Helsinki, one of the better universities in Northern Europe, is also chosen here every year. Organ recitals and concerts are held here every Sunday evening.

What a spot to enjoy a sunny summer day in Helsinki! 😍☀️🥂#helsinki #helsinkicathedral #finland 📍 Helsinki Cathedral
Helsinki Cathedral located near city center. In front of the cathedral there are some shops selling the food that ate from around the world.
It was a church that would feel calm and heart-warming. It was amazing that he was shining with the red church, and when I reached him, my eyes were twinkling. I suggest that whatever religion you are, you know that you are here to sit quietly and watch the beauty of architecture and the Baroque organ. All achievements are so easy. But when I leave, the winter night is coming, but looking back, he is so shining!
The holy place, the beauty of the church, are all in Helsinki Cathedral, white main body, light green dome, you can see him far away at sea, he is like the special lighthouse of the city, guiding seamen and fishing boats who need to go home!
Helsinki, Finland is a beautiful and clean city. Since the nearest flights to Europe from Beijing are Moscow and Helsinki, many people who fly from Beijing are preferred to take the Finnish Airlines flight. The city of Helsinki near the Baltic Sea is very beautiful, with unparalleled geographical advantages, and can reach St. Petersburg in Russia, thus reaching Moscow, so Finland is a very important country in Europe, and Finland is important in several world wars.
The Finnish capital Helsinki Cathedral is quite beautiful, the snow-white walls give people a high-end, elegant and sacred feeling, and it is also a landmark in Helsinki. Today is the anniversary of my second visit to this ancient city. [View] beautiful. [Fun] high. [Cost-effective] Very high.
