When Asplund’s small Woodland Chapel was completed, a larger chapel was needed. The area at the southern end of the Path of the Seven Wells was the right place. The road from Almhöjden to the chapel was almost 900 meters long with an impressive view.
Stylish and a bit difficult
Architect Sigurd Lewerentz was responsible for the second chapel on the site. He had initially worked mostly on the landscape’s form. After a couple of years of work and many experiments on-site, the chapel was completed in 1925. We know almost nothing about Lewerentz’s thoughts on architecture because he never wanted to talk about it. When the chapel was inaugurated, the reactions were mixed: both stylish and a bit difficult to understand.
