Would you like to install it now?
It is over 15 feet high and it only does the whole "show" once a day at noon. Wooden figures of shepherds and three kings (wisemen) parade past the seated Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. We were fortunate enough to catch it.

Sweden!? You got there before I did... What a magnificent clock. I'm sure there's a story to be written about it. Happy Travels! :o)

It really was, Lance. It's amazing what intricacy and beauty artesans of that time period could produce. What's even more amazing to me is that the style went out of favor and it spent over 100 years in storage before it was rediscovered and put on display again and they were able to get it to work!

My Dh has a cousin who married a Swedish woman and lives there. We visited him and his family when we went there last summer.
