Skeppsholmen Church

Skeppsholmen Church, Neoclassical concert hall on Skeppsholmen island, Sweden.

Skeppsholmen Church is a neoclassical concert hall on the Stockholm island of Skeppsholmen, featuring an octagonal design crowned by a large dome. The white facade displays four columned portals, symmetrical Palladian windows, and balanced proportions throughout.

Construction began in 1824 after the naval church Holmkyrkan on Kyrkholmen burned in June 1822. Fredrik Blom designed the octagonal building with assistance from his younger brother Gustav Adolf Blom; the dome was finished in 1833, and King Charles XIV John inaugurated the church on 24 July 1842. The parish was discontinued in 1969, and the church was deconsecrated on 5 December 2001.

Since May 2009 the former church has been a concert hall named after the conductor and choral conductor Eric Ericson (1918–2013). It also houses the Eric Ericson International Choral Centre, and the building is a state-listed historic monument.

The building stands on the islet of Skeppsholmen, reached on foot via the Skeppsholmsbron bridge from central Stockholm. The former church is a state-listed building owned by Statens Fastighetsverk; since 2020 the Skeppsholmsgruppen has run it as a concert and event venue. Entry is through the columned portals of the white facade.

The dome's interior reaches 30 metres, and the lantern on top was only finished in 1842, which is why the church was not consecrated until 24 July that year. In the entrance vault, memorial stones honour men of the East Coast Naval District who died during the Swedish Navy's 1939–1945 standby, including the destroyer accident at Hårsfjärden on 17 September 1941.
