Turku Cathedral

Turku Cathedral is the main church of Finnish Lutheranism and the most famous medieval cathedral in Finland. The church was built in 1229, has been expanded many times, and reached its current size by the end of the 14th century. Because I came to this city on a Turku-Stockholm cruise, I only visited Turku Cathedral. The cathedral located on the Aura River is tall and simple, impressive, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.

Turku Church is the ancestor of the Lutheran church. This is very meaningful in Finland, because the main religion in Finland is Lutheran. Turku Cathedral was built in early 1229. It was a small scale at that time, and it reached its current scale at the end of the 14th century. , And the church will also hold concerts in addition to worship. It is not gorgeous but solemn enough to be a church and music hall that has been used since the Middle Ages. It's free to visit. If you are lucky, you can still meet a small concert. I am the lucky person.

Turku Cathedral is the only surviving medieval church in Finland. There is a large clock on each of the four walls in the center of the church. According to the guide, several archbishops are buried in the basement of the church. It is said that there is also a queen buried here. Therefore, this cathedral has a very important place in the hearts of the Finnish people, and many people will come here admiringly.

The mottled wall has a sense of history and looks heavy; with the surrounding historical buildings, the viewing content is very rich. Also nearby is Sibelius Museum.

Turku Church, the main church of Finnish Lutheranism, is also the most famous medieval cathedral in Finland. It is located in the upper downtown area on the Aura River, facing the ancient castle of Turku. Open the heavy wooden door and enter the church. The first thing you see is a small museum displaying some of the cultural relics preserved in the cathedral.
