The Usbeski Orthodox Church is the largest Orthodox Church in Scandinavia. It has a strong Moscow architectural style. It was built in the middle of the 18th century. It has a green dome with gold spires. The red bricks are quite eye-catching. It is said that the interior walls are very simple. They are painted by Russian painters. It doesn't have much research on religion, but the building itself is pretty good.
This is a Russian church in the center of Helsinki, Finland, and the Orthodox cathedral in Finland. It has many stories, the exterior bricks from the ruins of the castle, the interior is gorgeous and solemn, full of Russian style.

Russian Orthodox Cathedrals are some of my favorite places to visit. I love the ornate walls of icons and the architecture. This one is a great one. Just remember to be quiet when inside.
Visible from great distances this picturesque cathedral does not blend with the rest of Helsinki's architecture but stands on its own. If you want an unforgettable experience and don't mind standing for hours on end and not understanding what is said, attend a service.
