Stortorget
SQUARE
Karlskrona's monumental square, Stortorget, was planned to rival Europe's best. Alas, the
funds ran out, resulting in a somewhat odd mix of grand architectural gestures and humble
stand-ins. Dominating the square are the courthouse, along with the baroque church Fre-
drikskyrkan ( MAP

Sweden's oldest wooden church is the stocky Amiralitetskyrkan, with a gorgeous pastel in-
