Helsinki Cathedral
Helsinki Cathedral is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The church was originally built as a tribute to Nicholas I, the Grand Duke of Finland and Tsar of Russia, and until the independence of Finland in 1917, it was called St. Nicholas' Church. Designed by Carl Ludvig Engel to form the climax of the whole Senate Square, it was built in 1830–52 in neoclassical style. Today the cathedral is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki, with more than 350,000 visitors per year, a minority of which are there to attend religious events.Photo: Hans Hillewaert

Location of altar of old Ulrika Eleonoras church is marked on surface of senate square. It is 100m away from current cathedral and since was not built on same location. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.155.88.167 (talk) 11:06, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
