Historic Uppsala and Gamla Uppsala - Uppsala, Sweden
Uppsala was originally located at what is now called Gamla Uppsala, or Old Uppsala. It was home to the early Swedish kings of the Yngling dynasty and site of the Thing of All Swedes, (thing: general governing assembly) until the Middle Ages.
Once the main pagan center of Sweden, Uppsala was transformed into the Christian center of the country. Over time, though, the population shifted to nearby Ostra Aros, and when the cathedral at Gamla Uppsala burned down in 1202, the new Uppsala Cathedral was built in Ostra Aros, today's Uppsala.
The cathedral was inaugurated in 1434. Uppsala University was founded nearby a few decades later, putting Uppsala at both the religious and educational heart of Sweden

Gamla Uppsala
We visited Gamla Uppsala and saw the burial mounds, an ancient church, and the museum.
Gamla Uppsala Church
11 th Century Church in Uppsala Sweden where the first Christian KIng Olof Skotoknung of Sweden ruled over the area.
Gamla uppsala church
Gamla Uppsala Church (Gamla Uppsala kyrka) was the Archbishopric of Sweden prior to 1273, when the archbishopric was moved to Östra Aros (Östra Aros was then renamed Uppsala due to a papal request). The old cathedral was probably built in the 11th century, but finished in the 12th century. The stone building may have been preceded by a wooden church and probably by the large Temple at Uppsala. After a fire in 1240, the nave and transepts of the cathedral were removed, leaving only the choir and central tower, and with the addition of the sacristy and the porch gave the church its present outer appearance. In the 15th century, vaults were added as well as chalk paintings. Among the medieval wooden sculptures there are three crucifixes from the 12th, 13th and 15th centuries. [19]
Archbishop Valerius was buried here. King Eric IX of Sweden was as well, before being moved to Uppsala Cathedral. Astronomer, physicist and mathematician Anders Celsius (1701–1744) was also buried at Gamla Uppsala Church next to his grandfather Magnus Celsius (1621–1679).[20] [21]
I moved to Sweden! Looking at Viking burial mounds
A video in which I consider the grave of my relative the Reverend Edward Evan Rowsell and the ancient burial practices in pagan Sweden. The video looks at the royal barrows at Gamla Uppsala in Sweden which mark the graves of pagan kings of old. Since it was the most important pagan cite in Sweden, it became an important Christian site too, and a church was built in the 12th century.
The walls boast some of the rare and beautiful Catholic paintings of Sweden that survived the reformation. Even better examples by the German painter Albertus Pictor can be seen at Härkeberga Church.

Uppsala was perhaps the most important site for the Norse pagans. They used to hold an assembly called the Thing of all Swedes and a sacrifice called Dísablót in honour of the disir.
The 12th century Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus thought that Odin himself had lived here, but the site was more widely associated with Ingvi Frey, who was known as the Lord of the Swedes. Christian accounts of Ingvi Frey sometimes call him the king of Turkey or a son of Odin, but he was in fact a far older deity and one of the most important. The Icelandic chief and author of the Eddas, Snorri Sturlusson wrote that Ingvi-Frey had lived at Uppsalla.
He was associated with sacral kingship and divine blood, he founded the Yngling dynasty.
The 11th century German chronicler, Adam of Bremen also wrote of the importance of Uppsalla to the pagans. He said that the temple there was covered in gold and that it contained statues of Odin, Thor and Ingvi-Frey
Adam said that the people offered animal and human sacrifices to these idols and also to a nearby tree and a sping, both of which were sacred. They also worshipped heroic ancestors who had attained divinity in death by virtue of their great deeds in life.
He said that a great ceremony was held there every 9 years at the time of the spring equinox and that non-heathens also had to attend unless they paid a fee. 9 male animals of various species were sacrificed by hanging at this ceremony as well as 9 men. The heathens were said to chant during these sacrifices.
the Ynglinga saga relates that a man named Frey had been buried in a barrow at Uppsalla and continued to bring good harvests even after his death and people thought this would carry on for as long as Frey remained in Sweden. The Swedes then called him the god of this world and offered blood-sacrifices to him for peace and harvest.

Gamla Uppsala / Old Uppsala is a parish and a village outside Uppsala in Sweden.
As early as the 3rd century AD and the 4th century AD and onwards, it was an important religious, economic and political centre.
Early written sources show that already during pre-history, Gamla Uppsala was well known in Northern Europe as the residence of the kings of Svealand of the legendary Yngling dynasty.
In fact, the oldest Scandinavian sources, such as Ynglingatal, the Westrogothic law and the Gutasaga talk of the King of suiones as the King at Uppsala.
During the Middle Ages, it was the largest village of Uppland, the eastern part of which probably originally formed the core of the complex of properties belonging to the Swedish Crown, the so-called Uppsala öd, of which the western part consisted of the royal estate itself, kungsgården.
It was also the location of the Thing of all Swedes which was a thing (general assembly) held from pre-historic times to the Middle Ages, at the end of February or early March.
It was held in conjunction with a great fair called Disting, and a Norse religious celebration called Dísablót.
The Law of Uppland informs us that it was at this assembly that the king proclaimed that the leidang would be summoned for warfare during the summer, and all the crews, rowers, commanders and ships were decided.
It was not only the Norse cultic centre, it also became Sweden's archbishopric in 1164.
Medieval Scandinavians held Gamla Uppsala as one of the oldest and most important locations in Scandinavia. The Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus held Odin himself to have resided in Gamla Uppsala far back in the mists of time:
At this time there was one Odin, who was credited over all Europe with the honour, which was false, of godhead, but used more continually to sojourn at Uppsala; and in this spot, either from the sloth of the inhabitants or from its own pleasantness, he vouchsafed to dwell with somewhat especial constancy.
This tradition was also known by the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson, who, however had Odin reside in nearby Fornsigtuna, whereas the god Freyr lived in Gamla Uppsala.
Freyr is also said to have founded two of the central institutions of Iron Age Sweden, the Uppsala öd and the Temple at Uppsala:
Frey took the kingdom after Njord, and was called drot by the Swedes, and they paid taxes to him.
He was, like his father, fortunate in friends and in good seasons. Frey built a great temple at Uppsala, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods. Then began the Upsal domains, which have remained ever since.
The present church building consists of a truncated central tower and a choir with absid.
Both the absid choir and the truncated central tower originate from the original major church, which may have begun in the middle of the 11th century and was completed in the 1240s.
Certain preserved wooden fixtures from the church may originate from the 1100s, including one of a total of three so-called triumph crucifixes.

The Burial Mounds of Gamla Uppsala
Gamla (Old) Uppsala was the the center of the pagan cult and the Swedish kingdom in the pre-Viking and Viking ages. Three large burial mounds (the Pyramids of Sweden) mark royal burials from the 5th and 6th/7th centuries. According to Adam of Bremen, every nine years nine of every species (including human) were sacrificed to the Norse gods (Thor, Odin and Frey). When the Swedish kings converted to Christianity, a Christian church was erected on the site of the old royal hall, where many sacrifices had been conducted.
The stories of Beowulf describe the Scandinavian culture at that time. The helmet found in one of the burial mounds is almost identical to an Anglo-Saxon helmet found at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia and now in the British Museum.
