Nearly 1,000 years old and visited by over 70,000 people annually, Lund Cathedral holds many fascinating stories and secrets.

According to legend, Finn built the church but, enraged over not being paid, wanted to destroy it. He was tricked, shrunk, and turned to stone, where he still grips the pillar today. Another highlight is the astronomical clock, dating back to 1425, which displays the zodiac signs and moon phases and chimes twice daily.Livets Museum
