The Admiralty Clock Tower. From 1699, the Clock Tower in the Admiralty Park was built as a clock for the workers at the dockyard. In 1909 it began to be used as a bell tower for the Admiralty Church, and is now one of the most prominent landmarks in the town.
The Town Hall on the Great Square is in accordance with the original town plan, but was not built until after the town fire of 1790. The entrance, also following the original drawings, was not completed until 1905.
The Water Castle. From the very beginning the lack of a reliable supply of drinking water was a major problem in Karlskrona. Water had to be transported to the town with purpose-built vessels from Lyckeby, Nättraby and Ronneby on the mainland and the construction of a water tower on the Great Square in 1863, the highest point on Trossö, brought a vast improvement in the wellbeing of the townspeople. The Tower, designed in the French Norman style which reflected the late nineteenth centurys taste for the romantic, was supplied with water piped from Lyckeby.
Count Wachtmeisters Residence. This building from 1705 in the Swedish Caroline style was the residence of Count Hans Wachtmeister. It was one of the few private buildings to survive the town fire of 1790. Now the County Museum, the residence has retained much of its original appearance.
