The wooden structures burned in the large fire of the city of Oulu in 1822.

The church was built again on top of the old stone walls with famous architect Carl Ludvig Engel as the designer.

The restoration works were completed in 1832, but the belfry was not erected until 1845.

The most notable work of art in the cathedral is the portrait of Johannes Messenius, painted in 1611.
