Feskekörka (Swedish: [ˈfɛ̂sːkɛˌɕœrːka]; standard: Fiskkyrkan, "fish church", also Feskekôrka) was an indoor fish market in Gothenburg, Sweden, which got its name from the building's resemblance to a Neo-gothic church.[1] It opened on 1 November 1874, and was designed by the city architect Victor von Gegerfelt.[1] Feskekörka was an institution in Gothenburg as well as a tourist magnet, housing one of the city's oldest trades, fishing.
Apart from a fish market, there was also a fish and seafood restaurant in the building. During several years the Feskekörka has gone through a renovation and since 2021 there is now only one operator renting the building and running a restaurant business in it.
