Espoo church . Stunning and very unusual, as in our opinion, the structure. We are not accustomed to see the temples in this performance, and our church must be pompous and recognizable. Lutheran churches, compared with our Christian, have more than a modest appearance outwardly, but internal finish, it is already quite another matter. But let's go about everything in order. The church was built on 1458-1480. He was consecrated in honor of the Apostle Matvey. Since those times were not distinguished by stability and tranquility, the temple was also served as asylum. Humanity has always sought to perfection and probably that is why the temple has been rebuilt.
So, for example, in 1767, a bell tower was attached to the temple, and in the eighteenth century it was established a body. Initially, the walls and vaults of the church were painted with frescoes, which displaced the scenes from the Bible, but in the eighteenth century they were tapped by tapped by considering that they are rude and ugly. At the very beginning of the twentieth century, restoration work was held in the church, during which they managed to fully restore the frescoes in their entire original beauty. In 1982, the church was significant because the sculpture of the "Passion of Christ" returned to her walls. Up to this point, a wooden sculpture, a long time was an exhibit in the collection of the National Museum. 2004, for the temple, it became no less significant, since the diocese decided to assign the title of the Cathedral of the Cathedral. The door of the temple is open to believers and for tourists, every day, but especially here in the evenings, when the mini music concert begins. Have you ever heard the organ in everyday life, not on TV? If not, be sure to look here in the evening and you will probably become a fan or a fan, this majestic tool, and everything and again and again, will pull it like a magnet.
