Lund (/lʊnd/, US also /lʌnd/LU(U)ND,[2][3][4][5]Swedish:[ˈlɵnːd]ⓘ) is a city in the southern Swedish province of Scania, across the Öresund strait from Copenhagen, Denmark. The town had 91,940 inhabitants[6] out of a municipal total of 121,510 as of 2018[update].[7] It is the seat of Lund Municipality, Scania County. The Öresund Region, which includes Lund, is home to more than 4.1 million people.[8][9]
Archeologists date the foundation of Lund to around 990, when Scania was part of Denmark. From 1103 it was the seat of the Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Lund, and the towering Lund Cathedral, built c. 1090–1145, still stands at the centre of the town. Denmark ceded the city to Sweden in the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, and its status as part of Sweden was again confirmed in following peace treaties.
Lund University, established in 1666, is one of Scandinavia's oldest and largest institutions for education and research.[10][11][12] The university and its buildings dominate much of the centre of the city, and have led to Lund becoming a regional centre for high tech industry.
