Domkyrkan

Address: Västra Hamngatan between Kungsgatan and Kyrkogatan.

It´s easy to miss this church while you are walking at the nearby street Kungsgatan. Kungsgatan have several shops so we can understand that you may pass it without seeing it to the right.

Open for visit
The grand Domkyrkan by C. W Carlberg is open the whole year around for visits.
Maybe take a small break from for a fiew minutes by walking or sitting in the small park that is sorrounding the church. Or why not enter to the church itself.

History
At the same place there have been 2 churches since before. One was built 1633 and it was burnt down in a fire 1721. A new church was built and this also was destroyed in a fire year 1802.

The one you see today is the third one and it was ready year 1815.

Fun facts: Domkyrkan has been restored four times. The exterior was last time restored between 1978-1908 and the interior 1983-1985. Still you can find the original colors at the north platform and at some church benches. To get some more detailed information about events in the church, visit the website »
