Liberiet

Liberiet, Medieval library building next to Cathedral in Lund, Sweden.

Liberiet stands just south of Lund Cathedral and is the only surviving building from the group that surrounded the cathedral in the Middle Ages. It is a 15th-century structure whose exact construction date is unknown; the cathedral chapter kept its library here, which gave the building its name. Since 2008 it has served as a pilgrimage centre.

Liberiet dates from the second half of the 15th century, when it served as the cathedral chapter's library; its name comes from the Danish 'liberi', meaning book collection. After Lund University was founded in 1668, the building was taken over that same year and used by the Faculty of Philosophy as a classroom, long known as the Old Academy. In 1765 a fencing hall was set up on the upper floor, where Pehr Henrik Ling taught fencing and gymnastics in the early 1800s.

The name Liberiet comes from the Danish "liberi", meaning a collection of books, a reminder of the cathedral chapter's library once kept here. Since 2008 the house has been a Pilgrimsplats, a meeting place for conversation, a cup of coffee and a moment of rest, with pilgrim literature and information on pilgrimage routes on hand.

Liberiet stands just south of Lund Cathedral in central Lund, reachable on foot from the surrounding streets. A 2015 renovation added a wheelchair lift and an accessible restroom, improving access to the building. Inside, pilgrim literature and information about pilgrimage routes are available, and the space is used for quiet conversation and rest.

Liberiet is the only building from the group that surrounded Lund Cathedral in the Middle Ages still standing today. Its name comes from the Danish "liberi", meaning a collection of books, a reminder of its origin as the cathedral chapter's library.
