Uppsala domkyrka (Uppsala Cathedral) is the largest and tallest cathedral in Scandinavia. Construction on the cathedral began around 1270, with consecration taking place in 1435. The church towers were added at a later time period. No one knows what the medieval cathedral looked like at the time of its consecration. There are no known drawings still in existence. The cathedral has undergone several major renovations. Sweden left the Roman Catholic Church in the 1500s and this had a major impact on the appearance of the cathedral during various periods. The cathedral is also a royal burial site. Several famous scientists are also buried here alongside royal personages and other great men. Olof Rudbeck and Carl Linnaeus are two of them.
