Kuopio Cathedral (Finnish: Kuopion tuomiokirkko, Swedish: Kuopio domkyrka) is a stone Neoclassical-style Evangelical Lutheran church in Kuopio, Finland, and the seat of the Diocese of Kuopio. The cathedral was built between 1806 and 1815.[1] There is a bust of Johan Vilhelm Snellman in the square in front of the cathedral.[2]
According to George Renwick, during the Finnish War, it was briefly used as a stable by the invaders.[2]
