  • What a beautiful cathedral. It's a bit of a hike up to the church, but worth it! The inside is just as beautiful as the outside. You don't want to miss this is you visit Porvoo.

  • This is a small but attractive cathedral. As a Lutheran cathedral, the adornments are quite simple with the exception of a wonderful pulpit with colored carvings. Also of note is the unicorn theme.....  more

  • It's closed when we arrived so we didn't get to see the inside. From the exterior, it's alright. Nothing spectacular. But the view of the town from here was nice. As we understand, this is one of the highest points in Porvoo. Surrounding the cathedral is rich with history, with plenty of beautiful buildings dated back centuries. Perhaps we'll get a better feel when we visit again during summertime.
  • Wonderful and absolutely magical place. I was lucky enough to enjoy the place alone only with someone playing the organ. Definitely worth visiting, you can feel its history inside.
  • We visited the Cathedral because of touristic reasons. We got into Christmas service and listened songs here. It was very authentic.
  • 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.
  • Old church built in the 15th century. Located in the old town.
