Espoo Cathedral is a medieval greystone church built between 1485 and 1490. At the end of the 18th century, paintings that covered the walls and vaults were unveiled. The paintings depict the history of the world, from creation to redemption, as well as everyday things such as trading horses and milking cows. The church only became a cathedral in 2004, making it the youngest of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland.
St. Mary's Church is a Catholic church completed in 1954, designed by the architect Kaj Salenius. The interior of the church was renovated in 1985. At that time, the altar wall was covered with natural stone mosaics made by the German deacon and artist Claus Kilian.
