"Probably one of the most iconic part of the city, The Helsinki Cathedral, stands on the northern part of the Senate Square.
Walking the stairs from the square leading to this landmark, you can get pretty nice views over the city- which makes the experience even more charming ✨
The Cathedral was built in the neo-classical style in the mid-19th century.
Today it’s an active lutheran church, decorated with statues of Twelve Apostles from the outside. Interior of the Cathedral has white minimalist design. "

"Renowned architect Carl Ludvig Engel, hailing from Germany, carefully crafted the square with a symbolic vision in mind. He ingeniously designed the buildings surrounding the square to symbolize the four key pillars of the state during that era: the senate, the church, the university, and commerce."
