Archbishop's Palace of Uppsala

The Archbishop's Palace stands as a symmetrical stone structure with two wings, designed by architect Carl Hårleman in the 18th century.

The current palace, completed in 1744, replaced medieval fortifications that served as the residence for Catholic archbishops since the 14th century.

The palace represents the continuous presence of religious leadership in Uppsala since 1164, from Catholic times through Lutheran reformation.

The building serves as the official residence of the Lutheran Archbishop of Uppsala and includes administrative offices for church functions.

Archaeological excavations in the 1880s revealed remains of the northern tower from the medieval castle beneath University Hall and University Park.
