Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Lund, Skåne, Sweden

. . . THIS MAY TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO . . .

As you walk through "old town" Lund, coming up from Market Square, this is the first glimpse you get of this almost perfectly preserved Romanesque Cathedral. lund101.jpg (22142 bytes)
Here is a photo showing more clearly the apse end of the Cathedral.  There are small open space "parks" around two sides of this Cathedral.  lund102.jpg (25829 bytes)

Looking down the nave toward the rear of the church from the very highly elevated choir and main altar level.   Tour guides in this Cathedral (open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) are very helpful, always eager to practice their english, excited to entertain Premonstratensian tourists, and very informed about the early history of the Cathedral.  Most are history or cultural majors from the University of Lund.  lund07.jpg (22928 bytes)
