My dad and I went to visit this historic cathedral in Lund, Sweden on last Wednesday (18th July 2018) while going on a holiday in Denmark. It's a beautifully cathedral. I'd say it's one of the most popular attractions in Sweden! We're the visitors from Dublin, Ireland!

It was a great experience to see one of the oldest buildings still in use in Sweden and is home to several historic furnishings and works of art! It is in the centre of the city, close to many restaurants and cafés. There is no entrance fee to enter the Cathedral, but you could buy brochures or guided tours! Don't miss the astronomical clock that dates from around 1425. It displays signs of the zodiac and the phases of the moon!
