Uppsala, Sweden/upps407

Previous | Home | Next

Uppsala in the 1700s shows the Cathedral with its Baroque-style towers, which were built after the great fire of 1702
(previously the spires were tall Dutch Renaissance structures; in 1885-1893 the Baroque towers were replaced by the
present French Gothic spires). The Gustavianum is behind the Cathedral but is visible. Scheele's pharmacy is 100 meters
north, not in view. The old Laboratorium Chemicum would be over the left shoulder, on the left side of the river, also not
in view. The university comprised a number of the larger buildings scattered about the river in this view, including some in
Gamla Torget (Old Square) which still exist.
