This view of the Helsinki Cathedral provides a close look at the beautiful central dome. It rises 262 feet and is supported by Corinthian pillars. The original Neoclassical design was by German architect Carl Ludvig Engel. He also created the Senate Square in front of the church. His successor, Ernst Bernhard Lohrmann, added the four smaller domes. You will see larger-than-life statues along the roofline. These are the Twelve Apostles created by Hermann Schievelbein and August Wredow. They are the largest collection of zinc sculptures in the world.
