Katajanokka Art Nouveau District
Luotsikatu, Katajanokka, Helsinki, 00160, Finland
Katajanokka is Helsinki's finest Art Nouveau neighbourhood — a peninsula east of the Market Square where nearly every residential building was designed in the Finnish National Romantic or Jugendstil style between 1900 and 1910, creating a streetscape of carved stone facades, turrets, organic ornamentation, and the mythological creatures from Finnish folklore that the architects used as decorative motifs.
Uspenski Cathedral
1 Kanavakatu, Katajanokka, Helsinki, 00160, Finland
Uspenski Cathedral is the largest Orthodox church in Western Europe — a red-brick Russian Revival structure with golden onion domes that sits on a rocky promontory overlooking the harbour, providing a dramatic counterpoint to the white Lutheran cathedral across the square.
