Everything at this world-famous cemetery has been carefully designed, from the landscape to the smallest details inside the chapels.

Between 1915 and 1940, architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz designed Skogskyrkogården with the aim of uniting the landscape and structures. Their goal was to provide visitors with an experience that brings together life and death, hope and sorrow, and light and darkness. It was designed to reflect the full cycle of life through nature and architecture.

Landscape

Skogskyrkogården is more than a cemetery; It’s a place full of life. The architects intended for the buildings and environment to form one unified place, centered around nature. The site features open grasslands, an elm-covered hill, pine forests and a pond where salamanders thrive.
