Fredrik Church in Karlskrona, Blekinge County, Sweden
The Fredrik Church was built in the baroque style after a design by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. Its towers are a notable carillon is housed in the south tower, and there are 35 bells, which were installed in 1967 by the Bergholtz Bellfoundry [sv].The clock chimes three times a day. The 1854 pulpit is in a neoclassical style by the design of architect Johan Adolf Hawerman; it predates the altar. The carved wood baptismal font was donated by the ship builder Gilbert Sheldon. The church silver is preserved in a massive safe. The church's first organ came from Hedvig Eleonora Church. When a decision was made to purchase a larger and more suitable organ, Lars Wahlberg received the contract to build an organ with 29 stops, 2 manuals and a pedal. When it was finished in 1764, he had inserted the 34 voices that are driven by six large bellows. Wahlberg's organ was replaced in 1905 by one built by Åkerman & Lund Orgelbyggeri in Stockholm; it was reconstructed in 1982–87 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri. (source: Wikipadia)
