An extensive renovation will take place in Turku Cathedral during this decade. Last time the Cathedral was under renovation in 1976-1979, so it is time to bring some of the systems up to date. The aim is that the Cathedral will be more accessible and visitor friendly, as well as appropriately usable and functional as a modern-day Christian church and a place for worship.
In the 1970s the changes made in the Cathedral were more of a technical nature. Now the big picture will be considered with the present day in mind. The idea is to improve the functionality in the premises as well as renovate new meeting areas for the congregation from the backstage spaces which currently are of little use. The church hall itself will likely have only minor changes.
Plans are not yet ready, they are currently drafted. The renovation will start in 2026, and it should be ready for the 800th anniversary of the city of Turku in late 2028.
Turku Cathedral belongs to everybody. Therefore, we are gathering feedback about what kind of changes should or should not be carried out. There will be changes because the Cathedral in its present state does not serve the people as well as it could. Still, how much and where the changes will be executed, will also be of interest of the public. That is why we want to hear your ideas.
What kind of a Cathedral would you like to visit? What would be needed, essential or practical?
