포르보 최고의 러닝 경로

It is somewhat unusual that the church tower is so far away from the church building.

Porvoo Cathedral (Swedish Borgå domkyrka, Finnish Porvoon tuomiokirkko) in Porvoo, Finland (Swedish Borgå) is the episcopal church of the Swedish-speaking Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of Borgå. The brick gable is unplastered, the bell tower is free-standing. Around 200,000 tourists visit the cathedral every year. Next to the bell tower is a wooden church built in 1740 for the services of Finnish-speaking parishioners. The diocese was set up in 1723 after the Great Northern War, since Sweden had to cede Vyborg with the bishopric to Russia. The oldest parts of the cathedral - originally a wooden building - date from the 13th century. From 1410 the cathedral was expanded and rebuilt as a stone church. It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was destroyed by fire several times: in 1508 by the Danish army, in 1571, 1590 and 1708 by Russian forces. Source: wikipedia.org

Here's my tip: Park the car at the train station and walk the short distance across the old bridge into the heart of the old town. It's a great way to start your sightseeing! 👍

already somewhat decrepit but photogenic bridge

Best in the morning to escape the groups.

The royal road once led to Porvoo via the old bridge. From it you have a view of the warehouses, which are depicted in almost every illustrated book in Finland
