The Swedish Crown officially founded Lund University in 1666 on the site of the former medieval studium generale next to Lund Cathedral.
The institution was established in 1666 as a distinct entity because the previous studium generale had not survived the 1536 Reformation. It was located in Lund, Scania, specifically on the grounds of the old university next to the cathedral.
