Why Lund Cathedral matters

Lund Cathedral is a great sandstone church that has stood since the Middle Ages. Its crypt is one of the most atmospheric spaces in Sweden, with carved pillars and a legend about a giant. Upstairs, an astronomical clock performs at set times with moving figures. The cathedral anchors Lund's old town and the university quarter around it.
