The Domkyrka (Cathedral) of Uppsala is the largest cathedral in all of Scandinavia. The twin-spired, rose-hued Gothic structure stands nearly 400 feet tall. It houses the relics of St. Erik, several notable tombs.

Begun in 1287, Uppsala Cathedral replaced a smaller cathedral in Gamla Uppsala. Intended to upstage the colossal Nidaros Cathedral in Norway, it took over a century to complete. Uppsala Cathedral was dedicated to the saints Lawrence, Erik (patron saint of Sweden), and Olaf (patron saint of Norway). The cathedral was consecrated in 1435. with some construction still continuing afterwards. The twin spires are late 19th-century additions.
