Strängnäs Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Strängnäs, Sweden
The cathedral features red brick Gothic architecture with two prominent towers and stands 75 meters tall on a hilltop overlooking Lake Mälaren.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1260 on a former pagan ritual site, where Saint Eskil was killed, and the building was officially opened in 1291.
The Cathedral Library, established in 1316, remains one of the oldest functioning libraries in Sweden, containing books from war acquisitions and clergy donations.
The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours from May through September, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements and historical significance.
The burial regalia of Charles IX and Christina of Holstein-Gottorp were stolen in 2018 but recovered in February 2019 after an extensive investigation.
