Skogskyrkogården, Swedish for “The Woodland Cemetery”. Skogskyrkogården came about following an international competition in 1915 for the design of a new cemetery in Enskede in the southern part of Stockholm, Sweden. The entry called “Tallum” by the young architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz was selected. After changes made to the design on the recommendations of the competition jury, work began in 1917 on land that had been old gravel quarries that were overgrown with pine trees, and the first phase was completed three years later.(According to Wiki).
Skogskyrkogården is connected to a metro station by the same name. It is very easy to get here from central Stockholm.
This is a beautiful place spreading across half a square mile. Tranquil and green. People come here throughout the year to offer flowers and love to their departed loved ones. There is a bus service that runs inside this place but needless to say doesn’t disturb the tranquility and blissfulness you get.
I went on a walk on a Saturday. Few people were cycling, strolling, driving on the roads inside this garden. Some preferred to sit on the benches by the gardens. There is a coffee shop in the middle. Overall, very silent and peaceful.
Uppståndelsekapellet (the Resurrection Chapel), designed by Sigurd Lewerentz
A large bunch of people have been cremated here since more than a 100 years.
It is lovely to walk the talk!. That too when the scene is like the one below. Isn’t it?
Peaceful solitude found here free of cost.
