An iconic example of National Romantic architecture, Tampere's cathedral dates from
1907. Hugo Simberg created the frescoes and stained glass; you'll appreciate that they
were controversial. A procession of ghostly childlike apostles holds the 'garland of life',
graves and plants are tended by skeletal figures, and a wounded angel is stretchered off by
two children. There's a solemn, almost mournful feel; the altarpiece, by Magnus Enckell,
is a dreamlike Resurrection in similar style.
