It’s a beautiful cathedral which was constructed with recycle bricks due to budget restrains. Although it’s modest size, the cathedral is fitted very elegantly with beautiful paintings and decorations. Be mindful not to use your camera flash inside as there are many valuable artwork. Give yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to enjoy this spectacular building.

A beautiful Russian cathedral that you can see from many different parts of Helsinki due to the hill it’s built on. The architecture is also quite unique compared to other buildings in the city so it’s a refreshing visit. The inside is equally as beautiful and if you have the chance I’d recommend. There was a service going on while I was there so only got a bit of a glimpse from the side.

It was a very beautiful Cathedral both inside and outside. It was about a 5-10 minute walk from the main Helsinki Cathedral, but worth the walk for the view. The inside was filled with the smell of incense for anyone with a sensitivity.

Beautiful cathedral (orthodox) There are some works… but we can see the beauty of the monument. Beautiful painting and orthodox art. Entrance free.

Lovely church, the outside is more impressive than the inside to be honest but going in have us a peaceful and calming feeling, which cannot be achieved by every church you visit. Coming from Romania, where churches are very detailed and overly decorated on the inside, this one felt simple but made with a good taste.

Very nice cathedral where you need to push the door very hard to open it on the sideway. The entry is free and you get a fantastic view inside.

Beautiful church sitting on the hill. Closed on Mondays. Wish we could have seen the inside. Down by the water is peaceful.

Very remarkable place , the only one Orthodox church in Helsinki. Its located on top of a hill, and free for visiting. When they have a service - no tourists are allowed in, but what is good there is no dress code to get inside, unlike in other Orthodox churches.
