Rosenbom

In front of the Karlskrona Admiralty Church the popular wooden figure of Gubben Rosenbom (Old Man Rosenbom) has been standing since the mid 18th century. In 1956 the original was replaced by a copy and put in a safer place inside the church. The life-size figure is actually a poor box, which means, if you lift its hat, you can insert a coin for the poor.

Located at 56.1569, 15.5911 (Lat. / Lng.), about 3 miles away.

Karlskrona naval base

Two of Sweden's three naval warfare flotillas are based there. It contains the Marinmuseum and the Ropewalk (Repslagarbanan), the longest wooden building in the country.

Located at 56.1528, 15.59 (Lat. / Lng.), about 3 miles away.
