Domkyrka

The Domkyrka (Cathedral) of Uppsala is the largest cathedral in all of Scandinavia. The twin-spired, rose-hued Gothic structure stands nearly 120 meters tall. Inside are the relics of St. Erik, several notable tombs, and a small museum of ecclesiastical treasures.

Uppsala Domkyrka is made of local brick, giving the structure a unique red color that brightens up the landscape in winter and glows with the sunset in summer.
