    All Saints
    This church with the Swedish name "Allhelgonaförsamling" was inaugurated in 1891. It was built according to plans by Helgo Zettervall in the style of the Neo-Gothic. The church was built because the cathedral had become too small for the reception of the faithful.
    In 1962 the church became a parish church.
    The tower of the church located on a small hill has a height of 72 m. The three bells of the church were cast in Ystad and inaugurated in 1966.

      The church began to be built in 1887 and the All Saints' Day was inaugurated in 1891 [3], and was the first major new construction (unlike restorations and conversions) of a church in Lund since the Middle Ages. The original reason must have been that Bishop Johan Henrik Thomander (1798–1865) had considered that Lund Cathedral had become too small for all worshipers; the cathedral also had in his time a much less monumental appearance than now; a representative and magnificent new church could thus be considered a necessity. The All Saints Church is built in neo-Gothic style and was designed by Helgo Zettervall.

      The church tower is 72 m high and thus Lund's second tallest structure (after Ideon Gateway). It is in neo - Gothic style and can be seen far out over the plain. The tower today has three bells, cast by Ohlsson's bell foundry in Ystad and these were inaugurated in 1966 when the church turned 75 years old. In total, there are about 2,000 seats in the church.
