If anyone is not very religious, then take him or her to the Fish Church (Feskekorka) of Gothenburg. It isn’t the kind of church where one prays though. From the outside it is a church but it is not a church in essence. It is actually an indoor fish market which has the resemblance with a Gothic Church. The Fish Church of Gothenburg was established in the 1874 when the wives of the fishermen needed a building to sell the fish from.
As an answer to their requests, the then city architect built this fish market and gave it a gothic church-like touch to attract tourists. What a wonderful idea it was! Representing fishery, the oldest trade of Sweden, the building eased the task of handling the cold, dead fishes for the fishermen. The Fish Church received quick fame as it is the only fish church that has existed in the world till today. This large and beautiful fish market is home to a variety of fish vendors. The fresh sea food is perhaps of the kind you have never seen in your life. The display of the fish and the lovely atmosphere leaves the visitors amazed! Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Gothenburg itinerary 1 day.
