Helsinki has some peculiar churches that merit special attention. You can walk through the city in search for churches big and small, hidden and exposed, classical and modern. And that's exactly what I did.
Second most remarkable church is Uspensky Cathedral, the clearly Orthodox church quite close to the city centre. It is built right on the rocks that lie underneath Helsinki. A short climb takes you up to the entrance of this Russian Orthodox cathedral that is consecrated to the eternal sleep of the virgin Mary. The church is adorned with 13 golden cupolas and is the largest Orthodox church in western Europe. From here, a longer walk takes you past the main Cathedral to probably the most peculiar church of the city.
