Karlskrona Admiralty Church
- Karlskrona Admiralty Church
The Admiralty Church, also known as the Ulrica Pia, is a church in Karlskrona (south-east Sweden). Inaugurated in 1685, it is made entirely of wood, making it Sweden's largest wooden church. Originally it could seat 4,000.
The interior is in a light bluish color while the exterior is in the traditional Falu red. Its shape is a squarish greek cross, with each cross arm measuring 20 meters. Though the architect is unknown, Erik Dahlbergh is a likely candidate.
