Västerås Cathedral is a church building in the northern part of the inner city of Västerås. It is the cathedral of the Diocese of Västerås and the parish church of the Västerås Cathedral Parish within the Church of Sweden.

The church was founded in the 12th century, but is considered to have been consecrated in 1271 after a major renovation. It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. The cathedral received its current form as a five-aisled hall church in the early 16th century, while the spire and outer roof were designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger in the 1690s. The whitewashed blinds are particularly noticeable on the west facade.

Västerås is mentioned as a bishop's seat in written sources from 1164, with a tradition dating back to the 11th century. The cathedral has since been the main church for the Diocese of Västerås. King Erik XIV, nobles from the Brahe and Sture families, as well as bishops and archbishops, are buried in the church,...

Västerås stifts domkyrka med delar från 1200-talet är väl värt ett besök för gudstjänst, bön, ljuständning, konserter eller sightseeing. Mycket att titta på! Guidade visningar har de två gånger om dagen och om man frågar personalen så svarar de gärna på frågor.

Domkyrkan var år 1517 färdigbyggd i sin nuvarande form och storlek. 93m lång och med ett torn som är 92m högt (med tornspiran över 100m högt).

Domkyrkan har blivit längs historien renoverats smakfullt och det finns delar i domkyrkan som visar på rester från alla epoker från 1200-tal till idag.

Domkyrkans altarskåp är från år 1515-1520 och är tillverkade i ek och är gjorda i Bryssel och Antwerpen. Det största altarskåpet är ett av Sveriges största och kallas Stureskåpet (skänktes av Sten Sture d.y och Kristina Gyllenstierna), mycket vackert. I domkyrkan finns även sveriges största samling av epitafier från stormaktstiden. Erik XIV är begravd i koromgången, en altartavla huggen i sten (tidigt 1500-tal) beställt av dåvarande biskop Otto Svinhufvud finns även där, tillika Magnus Brahes familjegrav, samt domkyrkans största mässingsljuskrona.

Depkens dopkapell är ett av renässansen märkligaste konsthantverk och finns att beskåda i kyrkans sydvästliga del.

I domkyrkan finns även en skattkammare som är ett utställningsrum där de har olika spännande utställningar med olika teman...

Beautifully preserved medieval church with countless pieces of art and history on every wall and tucked in every corner. Make sure to look in the treasury in the northwest corner (left side after you enter) for amazing artifacts and to learn about this church's place in the history of the Reformation in Sweden. Staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

This is a very beautiful cathedral, with many altarpieces, both catholics and protestants. Since the cathedral is very old, a lot of ancient familiar exhibits their coats of arms, as patrons and donators of the church. Also Swedish ancient kings have their graves in the church flor.
