Liberiet – The Medieval building in Lund

The red-brick building close to Lund’s Cathedral is called Liberiet. By the name you can realise what was situated in it from the beginning – a library.

Liberiet was built in the second half of the 15^th century as the Cathedral library. Originally, the book collection consisted of manuscripts made of parchment. The Cathedral book collection has grown fast after the development of book printing, so the library had to move to a new location.  

Winter walk in snowy Lund

It is a very nice experience to catch the snow in Lund! According to statistical data Lund has about 7-14 days of snow every winter. It doesn't mean that it has to be two weeks of snow in Lund. Not at all. The snow is usually coming for one-two days and then just melting away because of plus degrees outside. But these one-two days are so amazing and charming in Lund! You can't just sit inside, you are hurrying to the city centre to catch a fantastic winter atmosphere. Lucky those who managed to visit snowy Lund.

Destination Lund invites you to join our snowy city walk!
