The most beautiful church of Helsinki, Finland, can be found at the Senaatintori square. It is the cathedral called Helsingin tuomiokirkko which is also the icon of the city. When you reach the square you will stand in front of huge steps and have to ascent to the church, a marvelous white church in neoclassical style with green cupolas and the twelve apostles on the roof.
The Tuomiokirkko is a protestant church designed by German architect Carl Ludwig Engel. It was finished in 1852 and first dedicated tsar Nicholas I of Russia. When in 1917 Finland gained independence from Russia the dedication was removed. As a protestant church it is not highly decorated inside, but still beautiful. Can you spot the statue of German church reformer Martin Luther?
