As it stood in 1893

What Uppsala Cathedral looked like in its prime.

A vast cruciform Gothic cathedral of red brick with Gotland limestone dressings and a granite foundation, its west front dominated by twin, very tall pointed copper-clad spires rising above a broad five-aisled basilica. Deep buttresses and a clerestory run along the nave; the chancel is encircled by an ambulatory with chapels. Large pointed Gothic windows and a prominent circular rose window punctuate the façades; stone portals and carved details are clearer after the 1880s restoration.
