In almost 19 years of Postcrossing, this is only my 7th official card from Sweden. Curiously, all of them except one, depict churches of the country. This one in Uppsala, with its towering 118.7 meters, is the largest church in the Nordic countries.

A visit here is a journey through centuries of history, mystery, and remarkable treasures. Kings and scientists rest side by side, medieval relics blend with modern art, and legends of saints and miracles still echo within the Gothic vaults.
Throughout history, Uppsala Cathedral has been the setting for royal coronations, historic burials, and pivotal moments in Sweden’s development. Construction began around 1270, and the cathedral was consecrated in 1435. Until 1719, Swedish kings and queens were crowned here, and to this day, it remains the place where the country’s bishops are consecrated. - in: https://destinationuppsala.se
