Caroli Church, Lutheran church building in central Malmö, Sweden
Caroli Church is a brick building in central Malmö, built in 1880 according to designs by Emil Viktor Langlet, notable for its large central tower with a green metal roof. The structure features several pointed towers and was designed with classical portals and solid stonework.
The original building dates to 1680 and was built to serve German-speaking merchants and craftspeople. The current brick structure from 1880 replaced the earlier building, representing the modernization of the religious space in the 19th century.
The church served as the center of the German-speaking community in Malmö and reflects the important role that German merchants and craftspeople played in shaping the city. The place preserves memories of a time when Malmö was closely tied to German trade and culture.
Access to this building may be limited since it has not been used for religious services since 2010. Visitors should check in advance whether it is possible to view the interior or if it can only be seen from the outside.
The brick building preserves memorial plaques honoring Frans Suell, a merchant who profoundly shaped Malmö's development. From the original 1680 structure, only the foundation and portals remain from that earlier period.
