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 there is a concert hall called Eric Ericsonhallen in the building .

history

Construction of the church began in 1824 under the direction of Fredrik Blom . The building was intended to replace the former Holmkirche , which burned down in 1822 and was located where the National Museum is today. After the completion of the characteristic dome, the church was basically finished in 1833. The official inauguration did not take place until July 24, 1842, after the dome had been expanded with a glass tower. Fredrik Blom got his inspiration for the building from the Pantheon in Rome and from the Trefaldighetskyrkan in Karlskrona .

In December 2001, the church was officially converted into a secular building , which made it easier to continue using the building. Since May 2009 the former church has been named Eric Ericsonhallen , named after the choirmaster and conductor Eric Ericson . Since then, the Eric Ericson International Choral Center has been located in the building.

organ

history

The first organ in the previous church was built in 1662 by Frans Bohl , Stockholm. In 1702 there was an instrument made by the organ builder Carnaus . A positive organ by Pehr Strand , Stockholm was created in 1822. The single-manual organ with 8 registers created by Pehr Zacharias Strand in 1835 was sold to Tjureda kyrka in 1877 . An instrument by Per Larsson Åkerman with 18 stops on two manuals came from 1873 .

The current organ was built in 1930 by EA Setterquist & Son , Örebro . It has a pneumatic action. The prospectus was taken from the organ built in 1873. In 1942 the organ building company EA Setterquist & Son changed the plan .
