The Pump House by the Fyrisån River

Highlight • Monument

The historical pump house was opened in 1875 and operated for almost 100 years before it was transformed to a museum of municipal technology which it is still to date. There is free admission, however the museum is opened mostly just on Sundays.

Uppsala Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The Gothic Uppsala Cathedral (Uppsala Domkyrka), consecrated in 1435, is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Uppsala, the parish church of the Uppsala Cathedral parish, and a national shrine of the Church of Sweden. It houses the relics of Sweden's national saint, Saint Erik, and a relic of Saint Bridget. The church is traditionally the coronation and burial church for Swedish kings and queens.

Following a fire in the former cathedral (in Gamla Uppsala), the Pope granted permission in 1258 to move the bishopric to present-day Uppsala (then Östra Aros). The move to Domberget took place in 1273. Initially, the existing Saint Erik Chapel was used for services while French builders, under the direction of Etienne de Bonneuil, began constructing a new cathedral. The construction would continue for over a century and a half.

The cathedral's towers are the tallest church towers in Scandinavia, reaching 118.7 meters. The most powerful of its five church bells, called Storan, weighs 7,360 kilograms, making it Sweden's largest church bell. The Church of Sweden estimates that around half a million people visit Uppsala Cathedral each year.

Uppsala Castle

Highlight • Castle

With its commanding position on Kasåsen hill high above Uppsala, the castle is visible from afar. Today it is the residence of the Governor of Uppsala County. Built as a fortification by Gustav Vasa starting in 1549, the castle was the site of the Sture Murders in 1567, the decision regarding Sweden's participation in the Thirty Years' War was made here, Queen Christina abdicated here in 1654, and many of Sweden's former kings and queens were born and lived here. As early as 1572, the castle had been remodeled by Johan III and expanded into a grand Renaissance palace. After the great city fire of 1702, parts of the main building, the so-called Cross Castle, were demolished. During its reconstruction in 1744, the entire castle acquired its present form in the French Neoclassical style, based on designs by Carl Hårleman. The room, the district council hall, which was specially set up for the district council meetings after the municipal reform of 1862, is today primarily used as a representative reception room.
