The church was originally built from 1830 to 1852 as a tribute to the Grand Duke of Finland, Tsar Nicolas I. It was also known as St Nicholas's Church (Finnish: Nikolainkirkko, Swedish: Nikolajkyrkan) until Finland declared its full independence in 1917.^[1] It is a major landmark of the city,^[2] and one of the most famous historical structures in Finland as a whole when viewed globally.^[3][4]
