10 Stairs Leading to Helsinki Cathedral in Helsinki, Finland

This stunning landmark in Helsinki was built in 1852. It was named St. Nicholas’ Cathedral and dedicated by Nicholas I while he was the Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duke of Finland. The design is patterned after Saint Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg. After Finland declared independence on December 6, 1917, it was called the Great Cathedral. The name changed again in 1959 to Helsinki Cathedral. The massive granite staircase leading up to the front portal from Senate Square is almost 200 feet wide.
