The Sture chapel


Here are buried amongst others the members of the Sture family who were murdered by Erik XIV at Uppsala Castle in 1567.
The memorial painting on the west wall tells about them. (The clothes, which they wore when they were murdered, are preserved in the Cathedral Treasury.)

All sides chapels in the church were originally used as small chapels of worship, and named after different saints.
The reredos, made in Brussels around 1520, was purchased from Skånela church in the 1900s, and depicts the legend of Anna and Joakim, the parents of the Virgin Mary.

The Chapel is today used for baptism and the morning Eucharist.
