Kalmar Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Stortorget Square, Kalmar, Sweden.
The cathedral exhibits classical baroque architecture with high window openings, limestone walls from Gotland, and a copper-plated roof without a dome.
Construction started in 1660 under architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, faced interruptions during the Scanian War, and concluded in 1703.
The cathedral interior contains an ornate pulpit, altar, and baptismal font crafted by stonecutter Elving Nilsson, representing Lutheran artistic traditions.
The cathedral opens Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 15:30, with extended hours on Wednesdays until 18:30 and weekends from 9:00 to 16:00.
The cathedral and town hall face each other across Stortorget Square, following Renaissance planning principles in the new fortified town of Kvarnholmen.
