Beautiful! I like the green domes, which stand out against the bright white walls. The steps in front of the cathedral are also very impressive.
:okay:

9 from me, great building, in real life it looks even better.

As Labrador said, it looks grat with those green domes, on the white building, but that clock in the middle just dosent fit in ! :bash: 8.5/10

is it me or does it look more orthodox than lutheran?

This one gets a tenner :) A true landmark of Helsinki and one of the most beautiful churches worldwide.

What the hell??? I haven't commented this one.... I think I voted for a 9. I totally agree with Devilution, it's one of the nicest churches in the world.

interesting, i've never seen a church designed like a government building. 7.5/10 not exactly my like

9, beautiful building !

They recently spent a lot of time restoring it, and it looks absolutely pristine.

But Tempeliaukkio (sp?) church has got to be the most amazing building in Helsinki. Someone should put a poll about that one!

this building is a greek temple with a dome,looks strange....

I think this church is one of the great neoclassical buildings of the world, and definitely Helsinki's most impressive structure. the bright white colour makes it even more attractive!

Very clean and beautiful
