Beautiful old cathedral on top of a hill. On a sunny day it looks amazing. Offers free parking for 3 hours.

Beautiful old church! It’s possible to see inside, but all services are canceled due to the corona.
Very beautiful and scenic location
Lovely day out at the historic city of Porvoo in Finland The cathedral is set on the hill overlooking to river and old town. Accessed via cobbled street the cathedral looks like it’s been their forever even after having to be restored after a fire in 2006. A monument to those who fell during the war for Finnish independence is set proudly in front of the main entrance.
This is much more impressive than you imagine it will be, that roof! Was open when we visited 12th June 2020, but parts roped off inside. Impressive large organ on display.
This is an old cathedral but very nicely maintained. It is situated at some height hence visible and gives picturesque view when watched from the nearby hill. While of the Porvoo is a very beautiful old town which is conserved because of its colourful wooden houses. The environment around cathedral is very peaceful.
It was a surprise to find the church open and empty of visitors for a few minutes (a family arrived while I was inside). It must have been a refurbished medieval structure, modernized for use as a Protestant church. There were several interesting features, including a small replica of an ancient sailing ship that was hung from the ceiling. The prews were made of dark wood and were lined up in thick rows under a low ceiling, which was much lower than the central portion of the church.
Porvoo..the beautifully built and painted houses by the river..not to be missed..!
