Beautiful cathedral in the centre of Linköping. Restoration works are taking place at present so perhaps nit at its best but definitely worth a visit.
This Gothic Cathedral, in the center of Linköping city is Sweden's best-preserved medieval cathedral and there is much to discover here; the Gothic blind arcades with their magnificent stone figures, Mary spreading her mantle of flowers over us from one of the windows, the beads of the Rosary on the floor plus, the Linköping Gothic Cathedral had a free entry! During my visit, there were some renovation that was in process.
The cathedral has dominated the cityscape for over 800 years. With its 110 m in length and 107 m high tower, it continues to impress! Recomended!
I just moved to Linköping to live recently and I did not expect the beauty of this church, outside and inside. Stunning gothic architecture.
Definitely a must-visit destination if you’re in Linköping.

I was pleasantly surprised to find such a well-preserved gothic cathedral when visiting here. There is a mix of old and more modern sacred art that makes for an intriguing experience.
One of my best cathedral I've visited ever. There are lots of art to see inside. Especially the pulpit was amazing. If you get close, it had fine sculpture seems to tell some kind of story.
It's recommended to visit when there's sun shine, and on-the-hour ;)
