"An active cathedral with several services throughout the day, Gothenburg Cathedral is actually the fourth place of worship to stand on this site at the heart of the city. A temporary stave church stood here while the first cathedral was built in the very early days of the city. The cathedral was rebuilt following a devastating fire in 1721, and again in 1802. The interior is decorated in a simple, classical style and although the organ was updated in the 1960s, it retains the original white and gold facade."
