Uppsala Cathedral (Uppsala domkyrka) is the seat of the Archbishop of Uppsala and a central ecclesiastical site for the Church of Sweden. Located in the city centre between Uppsala University’s University Hall and the Fyris river, the twin‑spired Gothic cathedral is widely described in travel and reference sources as Scandinavia’s largest church building and Uppsala’s most outstanding landmark. The cathedral is the traditional burial site of King Eric IX (Eric the Holy) and is dedicated to saints including Lawrence, Eric and Olaf. Historically it served as the traditional location for coronations of Swedish monarchs until 1719. The cathedral remains an active place of worship and public visitation, hosting services, concerts and heritage projects; it receives substantial visitor numbers annually and maintains visitor information and outreach. Modern interventions include significant liturgical investments such as organ projects (e.g., the Fratelli Ruffatti organ work referenced in project documentation). The building is also a focus of scholarly and heritage activity, for example in research connected to historical burials and conservation.
