Among the oldest cities in Sweden, Lund was founded in the late 10th century. The stalwart Lund Cathedral is almost as old as the settlement itself; it was built in traditional Romanesque style and contains a beautiful astronomical clock, five organs and an ancient crypt. Explore charming Jakriborg, a modern residential area that emulates a medieval town, then head to the beautiful Botanical Gardens.

This is a beautifully built cathedral. It is worth a visit with a day trip from Malmo. The interior of the cathedral is beautiful and you can visit the basement of the church as well. A must visit when in Lund.

The 72-meter-high tower spire of the All Saints Church together with Lund Cathedral's two towers is a well-known silhouette, visible far out on the Skåne plain. The church, designed by Helgo Zettervall, is built in a Neo-Gothic style and has around 1,200 seats. The foundation stone was laid in 1887 and on All Saints Day 1891 the church was inaugurated by Bishop W Flensburg. Since 1962 it is parish church for the Lund All Saints Assembly.
