Domkyrkan
CHURCH
Lund's twin-towered Romanesque cathedral, Domkyrkan, is magnificent. Try to pop in at
noon or 3pm (1pm and 3pm on Sunday and holidays) when the marvellous astronomical
clock strikes up
In Dulci Jubilo
and the wooden figures at the top whirr into action. Within
the crypt, you'll find Finn, the mythological giant who helped construct the cathedral, and
a 16th-century well carved with comical scenes.
