Västerås Cathedral, now a five-aisled cathedral, was originally built in the 13th century on the site of a presumably wooden predecessor church and consecrated on August 16, 1271. A number of extensions followed until 1517. The tower and outer roof were given their current appearance when rebuilt after a fire in the 1690s. The exterior in general and the interior are largely influenced by reconstruction and remodeling carried out in 1856-1861, 1896-1898 and 1958-1961. The Swedish King Erik XIV, who reigned from 1560 to 1568, is buried in the church. The cathedral is the tallest building in Västerås at 91.8 metres; the church is the 16th tallest building in Sweden.
