Tallum Pavilion/Visitors Center

When Skogskyrkogården opened in 1920, staff needed places to work and change. They also needed space to store tools and machinery.

Architect Gunnar Asplund and his team designed the building known as “Ekonomigården”, completed in 1923. It featured lockers, changing rooms, dining areas, laundry facilities, and storage rooms for tools and seeds. At the center of the building is a small room with a domed ceiling, which served as an office where wages were paid out. “Ekonomigården” was later renamed the Tallum Pavilion.

Today a visitors center

Garages for maintenance vehicles and equipment are now located opposite the Tallum Pavilion. After Skogskyrkogården became a world heritage site, the pavilion was converted into an exhibition space and café. It is now known as the Visitors Center and is open during the summer.
