Abstract [en] In 1926, several fragments of medieval glass were found in the church of Gamla Uppsala in Sweden. While some of these are well known and have previously been identified as part of a late 13th or early 14th century stained-glass window documented in 1710, a recent survey has led to new discoveries. Some of the glass is clearly damaged by fire, which suggests that it likely dates to a period prior to c. 1204, when the church was a large Romanesque cathedral, and Gamla Uppsala was the seat of the first Swedish archbishop. Another interesting find is fragments of an exclusive, as-yet unidentified, glass vessel with gold foil inlays.
