Skeppsholmen Church

The Skeppsholmskirche (Swedish: Skeppsholmskyrkan, actually Carl Johans kyrka (after Carl XIV Johan ) is a former church building on the island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm since May 2009, a concert hall located in the building with the name Eric Ericsonhallen. .

The construction of the church began in 1824 under the leadership of Fredrik Blom. The building was to replace the former Holm church, which was burned down in 1822 and was located where now stands the National Museum. After the completion of the characteristic dome, the church in 1833 was in principle ready. The official inauguration took place but it was only on 24 July 1842 after the dome had been extended with a glazed tower. Fredrik Blom took his inspiration for the building of the Pantheon in Rome and the Trefaldighetskyrkan in Karlskrona.

In December 2001, the church was officially transformed into a secular building, which facilitated the further use of the building. Since May 2009, the former church indolent the name Eric Ericsonhallen, named after the choirmaster and conductor Eric Ericson. Since then, the international choral center Eric Ericson International Choral Centre is located in the building.
