Lund Cathedral

The sandstone cathedral features two towers reaching 55 meters in height, with a central nave, side aisles, and a semicircular apse.

Construction of this Nordic religious center started in 1104, and the cathedral received its consecration to Saint Lawrence of Rome in 1145.

The astronomical clock from 1425 performs daily at noon and 3 PM, displaying mechanical figures while playing medieval music through its organ.

Visitors can explore the cathedral throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages and full accessibility for wheelchair users.

The crypt contains 41 cross vaults supported by pillars, including one with a carved figure of the giant Finn according to local tales.
