Fisktorget is the hub of archipelago traffic and home of Erik Höglund´s sculpture "Fisherman´s Wife". This statue represents the women that rowed in from the islands and soled their fish here.
This aria is more than 300 years old and it has been a place where food to Karlskrona’s citizens arrived. Wachtmeisters family was the first ones to ship their products to Grevagården, later on this place has been a place for trading not only for trading fish.
In the beginning of the 20th century they had a market-hall here.
Today Fiskartorget is used for the archipelago traffic and a lot of small boats anchor here. The “Ficherman’s Wife” statue is one of the most photographed.
There were not a lot of information about the “Fisherman’s Wife” but this is what I have found so fare.
