On this page, you will find more visitor guides about Lund than anywhere else! Those guides present a large range of tourist information about Lund, the oldest city in nowadays Sweden, founded by the Danish Viking royals in 964. Lund is one of the most interesting cities when it comes to culture and history. It is also a student city with one of the largest universities in the Nordic region, which contributes to making Lund a research and humor city.

Lund was an important Danish city during the medieval times but has been a part of Sweden since 1658 when Scania became Swedish after a peace settlement in Roskilde. During the first 700 years, Lund was the unofficial capital of Denmark due to its importance as archbishopric. The mix of Danish and Swedish culture and history makes the city an interesting destination. Even though Lund has around 100,000 inhabitants today, the medieval city center is quite small, cozy, and walkable, with old architecture and many restaurants.

Experience the medieval churches in Lund

During the Viking and Middle Ages was Lund an important town for the Church. At the end of the Viking era, around year 1060, there were nine wooden churches and two churches made of stone, and some sort of monastic activity in the city. In 1103, when Lund became an archbishopric for a governorate which included the whole Christianized Scandinavia, even more churches were built. Almost 200 years later, there were 22 churches and four monasteries in Lund. After the reformation, which took place 1536 in Denmark and is seen as the end of the Middle Ages, most of the churches and all monasteries were teared down. Today, only two of those churches still remains, the Cathedral and the Cloister church.
