Linköping Cathedral has no named original architect in the article, and Helgo Zettervall rebuilt the tower from 1877 to 1886. The article names no client. The infobox gives the 13th century as the founding date, but the text says the site had a wooden church in the 11th century. The main building was constructed after 1251 and the chapels from 1408 to 1420.
The article calls the style Gothic. It is stone with copper roof sheeting, whose corrosion gave the roof its green color. The cathedral is 361 feet (110 m) long, and the tower is 351 feet (107 m) tall.
Roof fires struck in 1546 and 1567, and the tower was rebuilt from 1747 to 1758. Brian Clarke's stained glass windows were installed in 2010. It is an active Lutheran cathedral and parish church, and the seat of the Diocese of Linköping. The article gives no hours.
