Luleå Cathedral
Construction of Sweden’s northernmost and youngest cathedral began after the severe fire that hit Luleå in 1887. At the time of its inauguration in 1893, it was called Oscar Frederic’s Church, after King Oscar II. In 1904, it changed its name to Luleå Cathedral, as the Diocese of Luleå was formed. The architect who designed the cathedral was Adolf Emil Melander from Stockholm. This grand brick church is built in the Neo-Gothic style. The gallery organ with its 4,585 pipes
– built by organ makers Grönlunds, the altar[1]piece painted by Garibaldi Lindberg in 1893 and the triumphal crucifix by Carl Fagerberg have always fascinated visitors. Around the church there is an old cemetery where, in the summer of 2022, finds were made in the form of gravestones from the 17th century.
