Uppsala Cathedral

 
The original Cathedral in Uppsala was based on English models, but later received its High Gothic stamp from a French builder, Etienne de Bonneuil. The Gothic cathedral was finally consecrated in 1435. Its total length is 118.70m/390ft and its internal width 45m/150ft; the towers are 118.70m/390ft high. The towers were partly rebuilt in 1702 after a fire, and were given new spires in 1745. Restoration work carried out about 1880 gave rise to much criticism, and in recent years extensive alterations have been made to restore the church so far as possible to its medieval form.
