Uspenski Cathedral

This red-brick Orthodox cathedral stands on the rocky Katajanokka peninsula, its golden domes visible from the entire harbour. Designed by Russian architect Aleksei Gornostayev, it was completed in 1868. It is considered the largest Orthodox church in Western Europe. The plaza in front of the entrance offers views over the harbour and the city centre.
