Lund Cathedral in Sweden was begun in the second half of the 11th century as the Catholic cathedral of the archiepiscopal see. The article names no client. Donatus is the earliest named architect, though his role is unclear. Adam van Düren restored it from about 1506 to 1524, and Carl Georg Brunius and Helgo Zettervall from 1832 to 1893. The infobox lists June 30, 1123 as the crypt's consecration, but the text says that date marks the crypt's main altar. The main altar was dedicated on September 1, 1145.
The article calls the style Romanesque, with Neo-Romanesque rebuilding by Zettervall. It is Höör sandstone with fieldstone infill. It is 279 feet (85 m) long, 98 feet (30 m) wide and 180 feet (55 m) to the tower tops.
A fire struck in 1234. It is an active Church of Sweden cathedral and hosts concerts and doctoral conferments. The article gives no hours.
