4.5Cathedral of Porvoo(406 reviews) - Famous, popular and very nice Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
Porvoo is also the center of the Swedish-speaking diocese from 1920s years. It has a very important role in the history of the independent Finland: Tsar Alexander I of Russia took an oath to uphold the constitution in this church. It’s very popular wedding venue, Mika Häkkinen’s wedding ceremony was held here, too. We saw this cathedral, but couldn’t go into, because of a wedding. But we walked around it. It’s rustic and beautiful! Next to the cathedral is a bell tower and a wooden church from 1740.See more..
4.0Orthodox Church Porvoo(12 reviews) - Beautiful Old Church in Porvoo Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Our guide took us for a ride to Porvoo, which is a charming village of wooden houses about an hour outside of Helsinki. We visited this church, built in 1450, and containing some symbols of ancient Christianity. We walked the cobblestone streets of town, and shopped in the small boutiques. It was a worthwhile visit.See more..
