The Cathedral. Quoting J:

 

"Cathedral. Early 20th century and designed in mock-gothic fashion to look suitably imposing. Fun fact: the Finnish word for Cathedral, tuomiokirkko, literally means "doom church". It is an old translation error; the German Dom and Swedish domkyrka -- dom from Latin domus, house of God, or seat of the bishop -- took the form of tuomio (divine or legal judgement)."

 

Next time we'll see the inside which is very grim and Gothic, with frescoes painted by Hugo Simberg, I'm told.
