Karlskoga Church, Church building in Karlskoga, Sweden.

The wooden structure of Karlskoga Church stands near Lake Möckeln, featuring architectural elements that represent different construction periods from the 1600s.

Charles IX of Sweden initiated the church's establishment in 1586 by appointing the first priest, Olaus Gestricius, leading to construction at the start of the 1600s.

The church interior contains donations from notable figures, including an altarpiece from Gerhard Ysing in 1686 and a pulpit from Johan Camitz in 1774.

Located in central Karlskoga, the church maintains regular Sunday services and accommodates ceremonies such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals throughout the year.

During its early years, the church operated without pews, requiring congregants to stand throughout religious services until later modifications were made.
