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.

In the early morning, with the tram's orbit first coming to the Uspenski church with a strong Moscow architectural style, then to the extraordinary white Helsinki Cathedral, and then to the church's wooden structure silent church, then Also came to the unique rock church in the world. After a round of sitting, sitting down, silent or praying, at the moment of being in the church, I can always hear my voice and find humanity and sacredness. Leap thousands of kilometers to come to God, pray that my family and friends are safe and healthy.

Listen to the name and you know that this is very Russian. The Uspenski Orthodox Church is the largest Greek Orthodox church in Scandinavia, designed by Russian architect Gornostayev and completed in 1868. The red brick spire of the church is striking and ingeniously designed with a strong Moscow architectural style. The gold-green dome and red brick walls of the exterior are striking and have a Russian architectural style. There are statues of Christ and 12 disciples. The church is buried with the Finnish national hero Madhan, who led the Finnish army against the Russian invasion. It is also very beautiful to take a night view of the church at night. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for details. The interior of the church is extremely simple, and the paintings are all done by Russian painters, completely retaining the artistic style of the traditional Orthodox church.

Introduction
The Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral was built in 1862 on the slopes of the Kadayano Peninsula and was completed in six years. It is the larger Orthodox church on Scandinavia, and the Finns call it the “Russian Church”. The exterior of the church is composed of a red main color with a representative onion top. The interior dome depicts gorgeous decorative paintings and religious allusions, and has a rich traditional Eastern Orthodox church art style. There are thirteen towers in the church. The crosses on all the spires face the east, symbolizing Jesus and the twelve apostles. The shape is very striking.
This is a Russian church in the center of Helsinki, Finland, and the Orthodox Cathedral in Finland. It has many stories, with exterior bricks from the ruins of the castle, and a magnificent and solemn interior filled with Russian flavour.
The Orthodox Cathedral is the red cathedral of Helsinki's three major attractions, and the white cathedral and Sibelius Park are the other two. Built in 1868, it is the largest Greek Orthodox church in Scandinavia, with a golden onion roof that is Russian-style and shows the cultural remains of Russia in Finland. The church is designed by Russian architects. The architecture is not only a continuation of the Russian Byzantine style, but also a little Western Romanesque style. The front of the Russian church is white or gray, and the front of the Uspensky church is dark red, and the platinum roof is supported by 4 pillars, and 13 golden onions are made to represent Christ and 12 disciples.

A espectacular can't miss place to visit. Along with the beautiful church, there are great views overlooking the harbor for great picture opportunities.
Uspenski Cathedral is an iconic building of Helsinki, which is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral. On the back of the cathedral, there is a plaque commemorating Russian Emperor Alexander II.
Russian Orthodox Cathedrals are some of my favorite places to visit. I love the ornate walls of icons and the architecture. This one is a great one. Just remember to be quiet when inside.
Visible from great distances this picturesque cathedral does not blend with the rest of Helsinki's architecture but stands on its own. If you want an unforgettable experience and don't mind standing for hours on end and not understanding what is said, attend a service.
The Uspenski Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox cathedral in Helsinki. It is the largest Orthodox church in western Europe.
