Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki

Set on a hill overlooking the Finnish capital of Helsinki, this beautiful Orthodox church is the largest of its type in western Europe. At the time Finland was a Grand Ducky of the Russian Empire and the cathedral was designed by the Russian Architect Aleksey Gornostayev but wasn't finished until after his death in 1868.
