The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, Finland. The church was originally built from 1830 to 1852 as a tribute to the Grand Duke of Finland, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. It was also known as St Nicholas's Church (Finnish: Nikolainkirkko, Swedish: Nikolajkyrkan) until the independence of Finland in 1917. It was designed by architect Carl Ludvig Engel. The building was later altered by Engel's successor Ernst Lohrmann, whose four small domes emphasize the architectural connection to the cathedral's models, Saint Isaac's Cathedral and Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg.
