Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki is the largest Orthodox church in Northern and Western Europe and serves as the main cathedral of the Orthodox Church of Finland. Designed by Russian architect Aleksey Gornostaev and completed in 1868, the structure exemplifies Russian Revival and Byzantine Revival architectural styles, rendered in brick.
