Feskekorka
About
Feskekörka, literally "fish church", is a landmark in Gothenburg that blends historic architecture with vibrant culinary culture. The neo‑Gothic building, opened in 1874, once served as the city’s indoor fish market and now hosts three award‑winning seafood restaurants and a 28‑metre fish counter that showcases a wide array of fresh catches. After a meticulous renovation completed in 2021, the market’s ornate balconies, stained‑glass windows and vaulted ceiling have been restored, offering visitors a true sense of 19th‑century maritime charm. Whether you’re a food lover eager to sample the freshest fish or an architecture enthusiast admiring the church‑like façade, Feskekörka is a must‑visit attraction for any Gothenburg itinerary.
