Evangelical Lutheran Church
Luther Domkyrkan - Uppsala
Sweden
Uppsala Cathedral (Swedish: Uppsala domkyrka) is a cathedral located centrally in the city of Uppsala, Sweden. It dates back to the late 13th century and at a height of 118.7 m is the largest church building in Scandinavia. It has been controlled by the Lutheran Church (Church of Sweden). It is now the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden.
History:
The construction of the cathedral began in 1287 after the archbishopric was moved from Old Uppsala (Swedish: Gamla Uppsala). It took more than a century to complete. When inaugurated in 1435 under archbishop Olaus Laurentii, the cathedral was not completely finished. It was completed within the following decades.
@henrikhankhagnell I love the Evangelical Lutheran Churches in the Scandinavian countries and I love the Scandinavian people. I am a baptized Catholic of African, Native North American, Southern Italian, and British origins, and I acknowledge the Evangelical Lutheran Church and The Anglican Communion (including the Episcopal Church) all as legitimate Christian bodies.

the Lutheran Church in Sweden hated the Catholics and they forced them to become Lutherans. I'm not happy with what the lutheran church did to sweden but i hope there are some good lutherans who are against what Lutheran Church did to Sweden. not that everything was bad but to be against the catholics is way stupid. but i do love some lutherans psalm though
