When it comes to Helsinki, most people are most impressed by the Helsinki Cathedral, also known as the White Church. It is located in Parliament Square and was built in 1852 as a Lutheran church. The building is dominated by white with a pale green dome. Due to the special status of the cathedral, Finnish couples want to hold a wedding here, and even need to make an appointment a year and a half in advance. The seminary of the seminary at Helsinki University, one of the best universities in Northern Europe, is also chosen here every year. Organ recitals and concerts are held every Sunday night. In addition to the prestigious White Church, another famous church in Helsinki belongs to the Uspensky Cathedral. Uspeski Cathedral is an Orthodox church, respected by the Dormition of the Dormition, designed by Russian architects and built in 1862-1868. The cathedral is located on a hillside. On the back of the cathedral is a plaque commemorating the Russian Tsar Alexander II, the Finnish ruler who built the church. The Uspensky Cathedral is the cathedral of the Helsinki parish of the Finnish Orthodox Church and claims to be the largest Orthodox church in Western Europe, although Finland belongs to Northern Europe. Therefore, the deep connection between Finland and Russia is also evident in this church.
