Uspenski Cathedral - Helsinki Finland

Uspenski was finally open today so I could go inside

Completed in 1868 in the Katajanokka district of Helsinki, the Uspenski Cathedral is the largest orthodox church in Western Europe. With its golden cupolas and redbrick facade, the church is one of the clearest symbols of the Russian impact on Finnish history. The Cathedral is set upon a hillside on the Katajanokka peninsula overlooking the city. On the back of the cathedral, there is a plaque commemorating Russian Emperor Alexander II, who was the sovereign of the Grand Duchy of Finland during the cathedral's construction. The cathedral has several valuable icons, among others St. Nicolas – The Wonder Maker, which was stolen on 16 August 2007 between midday and 1 p.m. in broad daylight while hundreds of tourists were visiting the cathedral. The icon is now being searched for in Finland as well as abroad. via [myhelsinki.fi] [wikipedia.org] #church #orthodox #uspenski #cathedral #helsinki #finland #westerneurope (at Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5M-cl7B6wv/?igshid=1t15jxopxhz6v
