Uppsala cathedral and the Fyris river
Uppsala center has the feel of a small old town, but it is actually fourth largest city in Sweden. It has been ecclesiastic center of Sweden since the XII century. The cathedral in the image is the largest church in Scandinavia. Uppsala is also home to the oldest university in Scandinavia.
Apologies in advance: I am a bit overwhelmed with the response on my previous image, so it may take me a bit of time to respond to all of you. But I promise, eventually I will.

I think the piece of land this tiny mansion sits on is significantly more expensive than the mansion itself.

Arlanda Central train station, Stockholm.
"Plans for a railway line from the city center of Stockholm to the airport started in the early 1990s. Policy-makers wanted to allow the airport to grow without increasing the road traffic to the airport, and decided to build a railway. The project involved building a branch from the existing East Coast Line from Rosersberg and back at Odensala.
Financing was secured by introducing Sweden's first public–private partnership, whereby a private consortium would be granted a 40-year permit to operate the line in exchange for all direct traffic and the right to collect usage fees from other train companies.
The contract was won by A-Train in 1994, which started construction in 1995 and completed the line and station in 1999, with Arlanda C itself opening in 2000 on the East Coast Line shortly after the opening of Arlanda North and Arlanda South stations."

Architect: Nicodemus Tessin the Elder
Built in: 1654
Builder:
Borgholm Castle (Swedish: Borgholms slott) in Borgholm, Sweden, is today only a ruin of the fortress that was first built in the second half of the 12th century and rebuilt many times in later centuries.
The castle was in a bad shape after a war against the Danish and it took until 1654 before a restoration and reconstruction would begin. This time, the castle was to be turned into a baroque palace. Charles X Gustav was the king who ordered this, and Nicodemus Tessin the Elder was the architect engaged to fulfill the king's wishes. When Charles X Gustav died in 1660, the construction stopped, only to be restarted at a slow pace during the reigns of King Charles XI and King Charles XII. In 1709, the construction was finally completed.
For a hundred years, the palace was left to fall into decay. On 14 October 1806, the castle was turned into a ruin by a fire that started in the roof of the north wing.
The castle of today is the ruins of the 17th century baroque palace Charles X Gustav had constructed. It is owned and managed by the National Property Board of Sweden (Statens Fastighetsverk). It is open for visitors and houses a museum.
