This is a great example of 19th century restoration architecture. Skip the new (2011) Cathedral Forum, but make sure to get a little sun along the southern wall.

The cathedral is very prominent in the small university town, very austere, impressive. It was nice to be there without a crowd ( it was Thursday afternoon). We had a guide, and though I would have enjoyed the visit even without one, it was so much more interesting to hear all the interesting details explained. Do not miss the astronomic... More

Huge building lots of different sections but I loved the crypt, amazing to think of those who had walked over the same flagstones. They have a scale model of the Cathedral for the visually impaired with a notice saying something like if you can read this notice please do not touch the model. There is a collection box for donations... More

Lund Domkyrkan is simply awe-inspiring in its size and beauty. Definitely the most-impressive church we've seen so far in Sweden. Free admission. If you go the right time of day you can watch the quirky astronomical clock in action-- pretty fun to have little knights smack each other to toll the hour. The crypt is also available to visit and... More

The cafe in the new building beside Lund Cathedral (The Forum) - a lovely peaceful place to have coffee, cakes or biscuits.

Lund cathedral is romanic so pretty old. However the whole building does not breathe age as other buildings do. You have to descend to the crypta to get the little shudder. The pancreator is very beautiful though, as is the fact that the chorus is elevated. Can't remember another church built that way. If you are in Lund anyway do... More

Lund cathedral is located in the centre of the town of Lund. It is the town's geographical and spiritual centre. Lund is a cosy, sleepy town, and the huge cathedral dwarfs all other buildings around it. It is an exceedingly old church, full of a rich and colourful history. I highly recommend following a free guided tour of the entire... More
