Tampere Cathedral
Tampereen tuomiokirkko
A granite church in the Finnish National Romantic style, featuring murals by Hugo Simberg, including “The Wounded Angel” and “The Garden of Death.”
Completed in 1907 and designed by Lars Sonck, the cathedral's rugged granite exterior is a leading example of Finnish National Romantic architecture. Its interior murals are by Hugo Simberg. “The Wounded Angel” is regarded as a “national painting” of Finland. Other works include “The Garden of Death” and a winged serpent on the ceiling, both of which were controversial at the time. Admission is free. It is generally open from about 10:00 to 17:00, and visits are suspended during services. It is about a 5-minute walk from the train station.
