Gothenburg's fish market in a Gothic-looking hall of 1874, reopened in 2024 after a long restoration.

The hall opened in 1874 to a design by Victor von Gegerfelt, who borrowed the pointed arches and steep gable of a stone church and built them in timber and glass with no internal columns, so the trading floor is one clear span. The nickname followed immediately and stuck. It worked as the city fish market for close to a hundred and fifty years, closed in 2020 for a restoration that ran long, and reopened in 2024 with fishmongers, seafood counters and restaurants on two levels. It sits on the canal in the middle of town, a few minutes from Haga and the Avenyn.
What you actually see
- A church-shaped hall of 1874 - by Victor von Gegerfelt.
- A single clear span - timber and glass, no internal columns.
- Fish counters and restaurants - on two levels since 2024.

When to go
Year round; mornings for the market side. An hour.
Honest expectations
It is smaller inside than the exterior suggests. Restaurant prices are high. It closes early and on Sundays. The 2024 reopening changed the balance from market to dining.
Nearby
Haga is a short walk; the Avenyn and the canals are close.
