Scandinavia’s oldest university is in Uppsala, founded 1477. Lund university was founded 1666, as per their own history <a href="https://www.lu.se/om-universitetet/universitetet-i-korthet/lunds-universitets-historia" target="_blank">https://www.lu.se/om-universitetet/universitetet-i-korthet/lunds-universitets-historia</a> I have seen arguments that the university in Lund was founded earlier, eg in the English language Wikipedia article, referring to a dead link. Outside of Wikipedia I have not seen anyone seriously arguing in earnest that Lund university was founded any other year than 1666. Furthermore, if Lund University should be considered founded in 1425 it was not located in Sweden at that time, but in Denmark! Lund did not become a Swedish town until the treaty of Roskilde 1658.
