Härnösand Cathedral in Västernorrland was drawn by Johan Adolf Hawerman, named only in the text. The infobox says it was consecrated on June 28, 1846, and the text says inaugurated that day. The article gives no start date, style or materials, and the Church of Sweden holds the cathedral for the Diocese of Härnösand.

The text calls it Sweden's smallest cathedral. The tower is 151 feet (46 m) tall and offers views over the town. A first church was built in 1593, and Russian troops burned a church on the site in 1721. The present church stands on the original site.

Furnishings include an altar painting by David von Coln and a silver baptismal font of 1777. The organ facade is from an 1700s Cahman organ, and a 1975 organ has 57 stops. A 37-bell carillon dates from 1981. The article gives no hours.
