The Uppsala castle, originally built by Gustav Vasa as a stronghold, but updated a few hundred years ago to be a palace.
This is the "Temple to Knowledge" created in Uppsala's late medieval university; it was a lecture-hall, with rows of standing students and curious observing the autopsies of criminals performed there to understand how the human body works. Each of the pink and blue rows is a row that students would stand behind. The rows are just barely wide enough to stand in, and take notes or draw pictures on the ledge in front of you.
As a temple, there are fake marble columns, just as in the churches here.
Looking down at the autopsy table from one of the higher rows.
