The Uppsala cathedral is noted as being the tallest cathedral of the Nordic countries. It is the burial site of King Eric IX of Sweden and was the traditional coronational church for Swedish monarchs. The cathedral was built in the 13th century as a catholic church and became important during the Protestant Reformation as its chapels were converted into tombs for several Swedish monarchs. The church was built during the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries in a french gothic style. Its latest editions were its enormous spires, which were completed in the 18th century.

The Benedictine Abbey of Tihany was founded by King Andrew I in 1055. The monastery remained miraculously intact throughout the Middle Ages, but an unexpected fire in 1683 destroyed the monastery buildings. Reconstruction began in 1719 according to the plans of the Carmelite architect Márton Wittwer. The medieval buildings were demolished and in more than three decades, in 1754, the large baroque church with two towers was rebuilt. In 1889, during a major renovation of the church, it was decided to decorate the square with wall paintings. In 1950, following the dissolution of the monastic orders by the state, the Benedictines had to leave the monastery again (they had to leave it briefly from 1786 to 1802 following a decree of Joseph II). The parish survived, the monastery first became a social centre and then a museum was set up there. The Benedictines were able to return to Tihany in 1990, but the convent complex was not returned to the state until 1994.
