Växjö Cathedral in Sweden lists Carl Georg Brunius, Carl Möller and Kurt von Schmalensee as architects in the infobox. The text credits Brunius with the 1849 to 1854 rebuild, Möller with the 1898 to 1899 interior and Schmalensee with the 1958 to 1960 reconstruction, and names Carl Hårleman and Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz for the 18th-century tower. The article names no client.
The first stone church dates to the 1160s. The text gives 1509 as the inscribed completion of the late medieval vaults, while also saying changes were likely made between about 1460 and 1500. It is a stone hall church with a copper roof, a red exterior and a white interior.
A lightning fire in 1740 destroyed the roof and upper tower. It has a 27-bell carillon and three organs. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Växjö. The article gives no hours.
