Holy Trinity Church Uppsala

About

Holy Trinity Church is one of Uppsala’s oldest and most characterful medieval churches, standing just steps from the cathedral yet maintaining its own distinct identity. Built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, it reflects the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture, with thick stone walls, pointed arches, and a warm, intimate interior. The church is especially renowned for its remarkable medieval frescoes by Albertus Pictor, whose vivid storytelling scenes cover the walls and vaults, offering a rare glimpse into late‑medieval religious art. Over the centuries, the building has been carefully preserved while remaining an active parish church, hosting services, concerts, and community events. With its historic charm, artistic treasures, and central location in the old town, Holy Trinity Church remains a cherished part of Uppsala’s spiritual and cultural landscape.
