Large European cathedral with two spires, glowing in the evening sun under a blue sky.
Building started around 1270 or 1287, depending on source, and it was consecrated in 1435 despite not being finished. Its exterior appearance has been significantly altered over the years. Claims to fame include that it is the seat of Archbishop of the Lutheran Church of Sweden, it was originally a Roman Catholic cathedral, it has been used for coronations of the Swedish monarch, that it is the burial place for many important people including kings, Carolus Linnaeus and Saint Eric, and that it is the tallest church in Scandinavia. It was originally dedicated to Saint Lawrence, Saint Eric, and Saint Olaf. The original building was Baltic International Gothic in style, while the current interior is neo-Gothic.
