The Archbishop of Uppsala has been the primate of Sweden in an unbroken succession since 1164, first during the Catholic era, and from the 1530s and onward under the Lutheran church.
The Archbishop's Palace in Uppsala was designed in the 18th century by the architect Carl Hårleman, but built on older foundations.
