Växjö Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Växjö, Sweden
The brick cathedral features Gothic architecture with two prominent spires reaching 69.5 meters into the Småland sky.
The construction of the stone cathedral began around 1300, replacing an earlier wooden church that served the growing Christian community.
The cathedral functions as the main church of Växjö Diocese and hosts regular Lutheran services, concerts, and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
The cathedral remains open daily from 9:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours and maintaining full accessibility for visitors with mobility requirements.
The modern glass altar screen, created by artist Bertil Vallien, combines traditional religious symbolism with contemporary Swedish glass craftsmanship.
