Älvgatan, with its old burghers' houses, gives some impression of what Karlstad was like before a great fire in 1865. The Cathedral (1723-30) and Bishop's Palace (1780) also survived the fire.

Älvgatan attracts large numbers of tourists each year, especially students of architecture to experience the Renaissance period.
