About this building

The church consists of a nave, chancel and sacristy. It originally had an horizontal timber clad with chips. This was replaced by a new, barrel-vaulted wooden roof in 1773.

The altarpiece was built by Johan Ullberg, a prolific woodcarver in Skåne in the 17th century. The pulpit and many of its paintings date from the same century and were made by Sven Nilsson Morin.

After being bought by cultural centre Kulturen i Lund, the church was rebuilt in its current place and opened to visitors. The church can also be booked for weddings and baptisms.

Lund Cathedral

Lund Cathedral was founded in the 11th century, but there are many indications that it is an ancient church and that the present cathedral began to be built in the early 12th century, after Lund became the seat of the archbishopric of the Nordic countries. The Cathedral was the birthplace of Lund University in 1668 and was even the main teaching and meeting hall of the university until the seat of the university received the Royal House as its first proper building. During the years 1759-1778, extensive restoration work was carried out in the cathedral. From 1845 to 1846, the crypt was extensively restored. Using a specially invented lifting tool, they succeeded in correcting the difficult settling in the walls and vaults. The medieval towers were demolished and replaced by new, sharper towers. The aim of the restoration was to give the cathedral a more coherent and idealised Romanesque style.

Abbey Church of St. Peter

The Abbey Church of St. Peter is a 13th-century Gothic brick church, which replaces an older Romanesque church. The monastery was demolished around 1600 and only the monastery church was preserved. In the 1920s, a complete restoration was carried out, which restored the church to its original appearance, but none of the original church facilities are preserved.
