Turku Cathedral is the mother church of the Lutheran Church of Finland, and the country’s national shrine. It was consecrated as a cathedral (as the main church in the diocese) in 17th June 1300. Its history spreads thus over more than 7 centuries.

The Cathedral is open every day of the year 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Please note that during events it is not possible to walk around in the church. The entrance is free.

Turku Cathedral is not a museum itself, but there is also a small museum in the church. The Cathedral museum is located in the second floor, on the southern lectern. There is a small entrance fee to the museum: 2€ / adult and 1€ / child. There are artefacts from the Cathedral's history on display in the museum.

During the summer, there is also a small café located in the groundwork of the Cathedral. Domcafé serves with coffee and small snacks throughout the summer months.
