Turku Cathedral in Turku, Finland

---

The oldest parts of Turku Cathedral in Turku, Finland date from the beginning of the 13th century. The church was completed in the end of the 13th century, and dedicated in 1300 as a Cathedral to St. Mary and the first bishop of Finland St. Henry. The worst damage to the church was caused by the Great Fire of Turku in 1827. The present appearance dates to the reconstruction after the fire. It is the central church of the Archdiocese of Turku and the seat of the Archbishop of Finland.
