Lund astronomical clock

The astronomical clock features intricate mechanical components displaying zodiac signs, moon phases, and a calendar system spanning from 1923 to 2123.

Created around 1380, the clock remained inactive in storage during the 19th century until architect Theodore Wahlin and clockmaker Bertram Larsen rebuilt it in 1923.

The clock presents a mechanical parade of wooden figures, including the Three Kings, while playing the medieval melody In Dulci Jubilo twice daily.

Located inside Lund Cathedral, visitors can observe the clock's mechanical performance at 12:00 and 15:00, with Sunday shows starting at 13:00.

The top section displays four medieval figures with scrolls, including three wearing traditional crowns and one wearing an oriental crown suggesting Muslim influence.
