Porvoo church community Review

A beautiful church. Beautifully located, especially when it is in a bath of light after dark.

Located on a hill, the cathedral immediately attracts attention, as it is the largest and tallest building in the old city. The gable roof is simply huge compared to the size of the cathedral itself. Inside, the decoration is unusual, not very gilded, rather modest, unlike pompous Orthodox cathedrals.

t is an amazing place. I love Porvoo. I could live in that beautiful City easily. And it is a very popular Church for weddings

Be sure to stop by. Inside the monument to Alexander I, and the cathedral itself is very cozy, not pretentious. It radiates love.

The central cathedral of Porvoo, is located on a hill with excellent views.

Nice, awe inspiring ancient church with 800 years of history. Beautiful landscape view from the Cathedral

Worth to visit if you are in Porvoo. Important part and point of Finnish history! Beautiful church indeed.

Door is sticky and it looks like hunted house
3 stars cause im nice

Beautiful Old Town. There could be more than one season here.

The best cathedral in Porvoo, if I were from Porvoo I would probably visit more often.

Really worth seeing destination. Those who repaired the fire are iron professionals.

Otherwise, I went to Porvoo tours. Selfie was taken in the church when there was nothing else to do. Fine Church.

Must visit, song about Finnish history. Fine church and fine hill.

Unique architectural style. Nice to see when you're in Poorvo. But it's quickly visited and not impressive.

It was not worth doing kilometers and spending time by coach to see it

The exterior and interior of the cathedral were very impressive.
Rainy birds ceiling will be restored quickly.

Quiet and beautiful. Old Porvoo will delight history buffs.

A gorgeous church worth visiting. Remember to take your caps off and respect others by watching your volume and turning off the flash on your camera. Open most of the tourist season, with exceptions especially on weekends.

Beautiful church with beautiful location. Nearby services are also worth a visit. Especially in the summer, a wonderful hiking destination. There is also a car nearby, but arriving through the wooden block creates a sense of time for the excursion.

Well, how to approach this... In comparison to cathedrals in Rome, this pales quite a bit. But in comparison to Nordic cathedrals this is nice and cozy with impressive handcraft (and a surprising unicorn?!?) on a vertical surface. It's also great for warming up in the winter. But what really gets me there is the war memorial (in the yard) and the amount of names of the fallen from such a small town.

Very nice for a quick visit. Be sure to notice the unicorn on the pillar. It is a symbol of purity and Christ, painted in medieval times. It is only found in a few churches in Finland.

Great experience, impressive looking details. It is worth a visit to see the old Porvoo's haven of silence. A soothing spot on a high hill .

Nice church on the edge of the old center of Porvoo

I probably had high expectations but thought the church was quite smooth inside.

The building is not spectacular or special, but the town itself is worth it, for all inclusive its gastronomy

Really beautiful. Cathedral is on the hill, but its worth climbing

I had good when I visited this place. Nice peaceful place

Handsome part of the original city. Great place, on a hill high.

Charming Village - delightful cafes & shops but none of the historic buildings, museums or churches are open. The online sites show they are all open but, all were closed/locked....Disappointing if you want more than shopping. Must be wonderful in the summer.

Fine old stone church. Originally built during the Swedish rule. Destroyed by fires several times, most recently in 2006 and reopened in 2008.

Nice old working temple.
Nice quiet town. Gaidai made the film "For the Matches" here. The central part of the city has preserved its historical appearance - stone pavements, old wooden houses, black and red barns along the river, yachts and bicycles, small shops with souvenirs and other goods that are popular with tourists. These are great places for photo shoots.

One of Porvoo's landmarks,
The exterior is painted white and resembles the color of the local house.
The interior has a local character and hangs a boat.
Outside the church is a great place to take pictures.

Porvoo Cathedral is a wonderful summer destination that exudes history and the idyllic old town opens wonderfully when viewed from a high hill.

From the outside it looks quite usual and not catchy, although it is located in a very picturesque place by the river right by the bridge. The interior is amazing - on the one hand it is very concise, and on the other hand every second the look clings to some new interesting detail

The lights of Porvoo made the church superbly beautiful

Traditions in the air from the 13th to the 13th century for the oldest parts. In summer, the environment at its best, in winter, the city of Porvoo seems to save a little too much on sanding costs, and the parking lot partly reveals mirror ice.
