The Towers of Tampere Cathedral

Tampere Cathedral is one of my favorite churches and it is one the most significant National Romantic buildings in Finland.
It was built between 1902 and 1907, during a time when Finland was still under Russian rule.
Independence was growing nearer, and a strong spirit of Nationalism was reflected in all the creative work of the time.
When finished, Tampere Cathedral gave a boost of confidence to the Finnish people, who were just starting to find their feet as a nation.
It's a Lutheran church and the seat of the Diocese of Tampere.
Here's another view:

certainly an attractive building...it looks like an older, appealing style...the red roof tiles are an inspired design element...fine shot too..
