Luleå Cathedral

Luleå Cathedral is a house of worship built in Gothic Revival style with red brick construction that rises approximately 67 meters high. The building displays characteristic features of this architectural approach including pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout its interior.

The building was opened in 1893 and replaced two earlier churches that previously occupied the same location. Its name originally honored King Oscar II during whose reign this new structure was constructed.

This cathedral serves as a gathering place where worshippers and visitors experience religious services and community events throughout the year. The soaring red brick interior draws people together beneath arches that reflect both faith and artistic vision.

The location sits centrally in Luleå on Kyrkogatan 7C and is easy to reach. The building is set up to welcome visitors with mobility needs.

Inside stands a large pipe organ with nearly 4,600 pipes installed since 1987. Later, French-inspired elements were added that enriched the instrument further.
