Introduction
Kalmar Cathedral was completed in the 1660s to designs by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, a prime example of Swedish Baroque church architecture. Its red-brick twin towers and solemn nave continue the town's tradition as an ecclesiastical and royal centre, and it remains Kalmar's spiritual heart and a favoured place for weddings.
