About Turku Cathedral
Turku Cathedral is the mother church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and the country's national shrine. It was consecrated in 1300 and is the most important medieval building in Finland.
The red-brick Gothic church has survived wars and the Great Fire of Turku in 1827, and its tall tower can be seen from across the city. Inside you will find chapels, tombs of historical figures and a museum that presents the cathedral's history and church treasures.
