description: "Carl Ludvig Engel or Johann Carl Ludwig Engel was a German architect and the first internationally renowned architect to work in Finland. Under his direction, Helsinki was transformed in the early 19th century into a worthy capital for the Grand Duchy of Finland, with a monumental neoclassical centre around Senate Square. His works include Helsinki Cathedral, the Senate building, the Helsinki City Hall, and the main building and library of the University of Helsinki. From 1824 until his death he served as head of the Intendant's Office, responsible for public buildings throughout Finland."
