Växjö Cathedral is the principal church of the city of Växjö in southern Sweden and the seat of the Diocese of Växjö. The site has medieval origins and functions as the region’s main episcopal church.

The building traces its origins to a medieval church on the site; the present structure reflects successive rebuildings and restorations carried out over the centuries, with significant 19th-century work that shaped much of the current exterior. Inside there are older fragments and ecclesiastical fittings from different periods.

The cathedral serves as an active parish church and diocesan centre, hosting regular services and occasional civic events. It stands in the central area of Växjö and is readily accessible from the town centre.

Växjö Cathedral is in the city centre, a short walk from Växjö railway station and local bus stops. Regional roads and public transport from nearby towns connect to Växjö.

• Visit during a service to hear the organ and choir - the cathedral frequently hosts music events that reveal its acoustic strength.
• Walk the surrounding streets for 19th-century and earlier architecture that frames the cathedral's presence.
• Check opening hours as special events can limit tourist access.
