Finally, I was able to check out the inside of Feskekôrka, which have been undergoing major renovations and the renovations restarted after the pandemic. Temporally, opened to the public today. I was able to post construction from 1874, inspired by Old Norse stave churches. The posts have recently been restored by carpenters. They were on the site and talk about their work and demonstrated tools and methods. I’m looking forward to the next year’s reopening.

I was told about this amazing fish market must see, so my expectations were very high. Unfortunately it didn't come close to what I expected. The building is quirky church looking which is interesting, but it's really small. If you want to buy fresh seafood or fish it's a must visit. There is a restaurant inside also so I guess you can eat super fresh fish and seafood on the spot, but I didn't try it so can't comment on the quality. It passed the spare time I had.
