Church sights in Karlskrona

  1. A

    Trefaldighetskyrkan

    Karlskrona’s monumental square, Stortorget, was planned to rival Europe’s best. Alas, the funds ran out, resulting in a somewhat odd mix of grand architectural gestures and humble stand-ins. Dominating the square are the courthouse, along with the baroque church Fredrikskyrkan and Trefaldighetskyrkan, inspired by Rome’s Pantheon.

    Amiralitetskyrkan

    Sweden’s oldest wooden church is the stocky Amiralitetskyrkan, whose gorgeous pastel interior is worth a peek. Outside, the wooden statue Old Rosenbom raises his hat to charitable visitors.
