About Pantarholmen
What are the main landmarks in Pantarholmen?
The museums cluster here. Marinmuseum and Blekinge museum stand near the waterfront of central Karlskrona, while Fredrikskyrkan, Trefaldighetskyrkan, and Emanuelskyrkan rise close by and smaller collections like the Karlskrona Porslinsmuseum, the Biograf- och Kopparslagarmuseum, and Albinsson & Sjöbergs bilmuseum gather around this Baltic quarter in southern Sweden. Brinova Arena Karlskrona draws the crowds on game days.
A dense core of sights. The Baltic shore is always close.
What is the history of Pantarholmen?
The navy made this city. Pantarholmen grew within Karlskrona as the Crown laid out its great naval base across the islands of the Baltic Sea, and the Marinmuseum now keeps that seafaring story in the central part of Karlskrona in southern Sweden. Churches rose for the new town: Fredrikskyrkan and Trefaldighetskyrkan among them.
The island settled into the working core of the city.
Where is Pantarholmen?
Right at the heart of it. Pantarholmen sits in the central part of Karlskrona, an island quarter of Karlskrona Municipality on the Baltic Sea in the Blekinge archipelago, bridged to the surrounding islands and lying close to Saltö across the water. The shore wraps it on most sides.
