Oulu Cathedral

Getting around: Central Oulu, an easy walk from the market square and river.
Hours: Daily roughly 10:00-18:00 in summer, shorter in winter; restricted during services.

Oulu Cathedral, rebuilt in the 1830s after fire, is a Lutheran neoclassical church in the pale style typical of Engel-era Finnish cities, with a notable collection of bishop portraits inside.

A brief, unhurried stop rather than a major architectural landmark on the scale of Helsinki's or Turku's cathedrals.
