Savonlinna Cathedral, completed in 1878, is a Lutheran church designed by architect Carl Axel Setterberg in neoclassical style. Its most distinctive feature is the tall, green dome topped with a cross, visible from across the city. Inside, visitors see a serene interior with white walls, a large altar painting, and a notable organ. The cathedral serves as the seat of the Diocese of Savonlinna and hosts regular services and concerts. Its location near the market square makes it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the city center.
