Just to the opposite of the Amalienborg castle, this church just matches up to it. The exterior of the mosque is so gigantic and massive looking that it still holds beauty and grandeur. Inside the church is very spacious and the dome makes it look even bigger. What an architectural marvel!

The Fredrik Church is simply beautiful,. The architecture is stunning, with its striking baroque design and intricate details that immediately catch your eye. The atmosphere inside is calm, peaceful, and almost timeless, making it a perfect place to pause and reflect. The church stands proudly in the heart of Karlskrona and adds so much character to the square around it.
