The astronomical clock in Lund Cathedral from 1387 also known as Horologium mirabile Lundense (Latin: "the wonderful clock in Lund") is a masterpiece of technology.
It displays signs of the zodiac and the phases of the moon. Twice a day it plays a tune and the three wise men and their servants walk past the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus.
"It is possible to determine the current time of the day, the current lunar phase, the current position of the sun in the zodiac as well as the current date of the year and related information, from the clock. The current perpetual calendar spans from 1923 to 2123." (
