The Gothenburg Cathedral

The Gothenburg Cathedral-Domkyrkan

Inside Domkyrkan
I have seen many people, probably tourists, who were taking pictures of this Cathedral. For me, it’s not an eye-catching structure, but just an ordinary church. Then one day I just took myself pictures of the Cathedral, too. It’s because the history that embraces this Cathedral that interests me to do so. It was first built in the late 1600’s but two incidents of fire destroyed the first and the second replicas respectively. So it’s the third reconstruction that’s been standing strong since 1825. Amen to this!

It is a gorgeous building and surely great architecture too. It is very impressive, and that’s why tourists flock there I believe.

Mhy,
Ang ganda ng building. Romanesque type and almost 200 years old na pala yan ha. Matibay din kahit ilang ulit nang ni-reconstruct.

Jess, kaya nga eh. Pero di naman gaanong attractive talaga sa labas. Ang sa loob ang simple ang dating pero ma-iimpress ka.

That’s a lovely cathedral but you’re right, it’s not really eye-catching, but lovely nonetheless

It’s true, hehee! Everytime I see some taking pictures of it, I thought it’s the sky they want to capture, cos nothing’s special with the church.

Maricris, I’m impressed with the altar, too. The outer design is not captivating, but the inside does.
