St. Henry's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, dedicated to Bishop Henrik, a 12th-century Bishop of Turku. Built of brick between 1858 and 1860 to a design by Ernst Lohrmann, it was erected primarily to serve Russian Catholic soldiers and Catholic merchants. It was not consecrated until 1904, and it became the cathedral church of Helsinki in 1955, when the diocese was erected. Statues of Bishop Henrik, Saint Peter and Saint Paul decorate the exterior.
