Fredrik Church, Baroque church in Stortorget square, Karlskrona, Sweden.

The Fredrik Church stands with two tall towers on the main square, featuring a carillon system of 35 bells in its south tower.

Construction began in 1720 under architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, and the church received its consecration in 1744 in presence of Crown Prince Adolf Frederick.

The church displays Swedish baroque architecture through its ornate details, grand proportions, and integration with the naval base complex of Karlskrona.

The church maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours, with detailed information available through the parish office at Stortorget.

The building houses a large mechanical organ from 1764, crafted by Lars Wahlberg with 29 stops and powered by six bellows.
