Description
The interior of the Cathedral is of impressive effect. The sumptuous Baroque pulpit (1707) was carved by Burchard Precht to the design of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. At the east end of the choir is the burial chapel of Gustavus Adolphus, with the king's tomb (Netherlandish work of about 1576). On the north side of the church are the tomb of Katarina Jagellonica (1583) and the marble monument of her husband, John III. On the north side is the Oxenstierna Chapel.

Also buried in the Cathedral are Carl von Linné (Linnaeus), Archbishop Nathan Söderblom and the philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg.

In the Silver Chamber, among other treasures, can be seen the gilded reliquary (1574-79) of King Eric IX (St Eric), who was killed by the Danes in 1160. In the north tower is a museum with, among much else, a gold brocade robe (ca. 1400) which belonged to Queen Margaret, ruler of the united kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
