Tampere Cathedral

Tampere's imposing Cathedral is reached from Hämeenkatu by way of the Koskipuisto (park) along the Tammerkoski to Satakunnankatu, then to the right along this street to Rautatienkatu. The Cathedral (by Lars Sonck, 1902-07) is a very typical example of Finnish Art Nouveau architecture, with wall and ceiling paintings by Hugo Simberg, an altar fresco of the Resurrection by Magnus Enckell and liturgical utensils by Eric O. V. Ehrström.
