Viipuri Cathedral (Finnish: Viipurin tuomiokirkko, IPA: [ˈʋiːpurin ˈtuo̯mioˌkirkːo]), also known as Viborg Cathedral (Swedish: Viborgs domkyrka) or Vyborg Cathedral (Russian: Вы́боргский кафедра́льный собо́р, romanized: Výborgskiy kafedrálʹny sobór, IPA: [ˈvɨbərkskʲɪj kəfʲɪˈdralʲnɨj sɐˈbor]), was a Lutheran church in Viipuri, present-day Russia; during its lifetime part of the Grand Duchy of Finland and later independent Finland.
[citation needed] In 1881 Viipuri's Finnish parish was divided between the city and the surrounding rural municipality.
The city parish needed a new church, which was built by Carl Eduard Dippell between 1889 and 1893 in Gothic Revival style.
[citation needed] In 1908, a bust by Emil Wikström of Mikael Agricola was added to the cathedral façade.
Finland lost the city to the Soviet Union in the Moscow Peace Treaty, but conquered it back during the Continuation War in 1941.
