Luleå Cathedral
Luleå domkyrka
A red-brick New Gothic church completed in 1893, with a soaring spire that is a landmark of central Luleå.
Originally named Oscar Fredrik Church, it was elevated to cathedral status in 1904, after the Diocese of Luleå was established. The exterior is red-brick New Gothic, and the interior was remodeled in the 1960s in a simple, bright style. The silver altar decorations and stained-glass windows are worth a look. Admission is free. The cathedral is near the city center's pedestrian street, within walking distance of the Norrbotten Museum and the ice road on the South Harbour.
Opening hours
