The church was originally made of wood. The first stone walls were built between 1410 and 1420, and in approximately 1450, the church expanded 4 meters to the east and 6 meters to the south.

The church has been destroyed by fire on numerous occasions; in 1508 by the Danish forces and in 1571, 1590 and 1708 by the Russian forces. On May 29, 2006, the exterior roof collapsed in a fire, but with the interior roof intact and the interiors of the cathedral intact. It was reopened in July 2008.

cathedral is a big word, but porvoo is all about very few inhabitants.

A short drive east of Helsinki, a 50min (50km) drive away, is the picturesque seaside town of Porvoo, a charming town on the shores of the Gulf of Finland and the second oldest town in Finland.

This cathedral is an ancient one, and looks like was made just yesterday! From outside looks a little boring, but inside its fabulous, classical artistic ancient finishing and looks so awesome, it's just amazing, it's a shame that it's not well utilized by the locals.

Then there is this very short door that's one of its kind on an adjustant building, I loved it's serenity, nice and cool place to connect with the inner yourself.

Interesting cathedral. Not spectacular. There are two balconies above each other, so in total 3 rows of benches for believers. A beautiful but not too large organ. As far as we are concerned, you don't have to travel all the way to Porvoo for this church.

This church is always beautiful and impressive both inside and out. It plays a crucial role in Porvoo landscape picture. Is seen and heard far away. This summer, tar the roof of the church. The Church of Olives excelling antique cobbled streets that exist in the surrounding Old Porvoo.

Porvoo Cathedral is one of the famous spot to visit in the beautiful Porvoo. Porvoo isnt very far from Helsinki ,you can take the buses from Helsinki Bus station. Cathedral is very old and symbolic in the town. Town is very old with history. You should visit this cathedral in Porvoo.
