The Lutheran Cathedral, Helsinki
Image taken whilst visiting Helsinki during a shore visit from a cruise ship. Exceptionally lucky with the overcast weather, with clouds in the background.
The cathedral was built as a tribute to the Grand Duke, Nicholas I, the Tsar of Russia, and was called St. Nicholas' Church until the independence of Finland in 1917. In 1959, it became a cathedral of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination.
