Savilahti Stone Sacristy

Mikkeli Cathedral is a neo-gothic brick church built in 1896-1897. The church suffered only minor damage during the bombings of the Continuation War (1941-1944), which destroyed a considerable part of the old Mikkeli. After the war, in 1945, the episcopal seat of the Vyborg diocese was moved to Mikkeli and the church was consecrated as a cathedral.

The Toivakka Church, in the neo-gothic style, was built according to the plans of the architect L. I. Lindqvist from 1879 to 1882. The bell tower was completed earlier in 1871. The church was renovated in the 1920s under the direction of the architect Alvar Aalto. In 1973, Pallervo Lukumies, a local artist, painted the special ceiling paintings of the church, based on pop art and the Bible.

Savonlinna Cathedral was built between 1874 and 1878, designed in the Gothic Revival style by the architect Axel Hampus Dalström. The masons came from St. Petersburg and the carpenters from Vyborg. During the Winter War, on 1 March 1940, the town of Savonlinna was bombed and the church was severely destroyed. The church was rebuilt between 1947 and 1948 according to the plans of the architect Bertel Liljequist and was consecrated again in 1949. Today it is part of the Mikkeli diocese. It was the cathedral of the former diocese of Savonlinna from 1897 to 1925 and has retained the name of the cathedral.
