The buildings

At the heart of Skogskyrkogården’s design lies the Nordic pine forest. However, the architects were also seeking to place visitors in a larger context – a European one. This manifests itself most clearly in the chapels.

Skogskyrkogården’s chapels and other buildings are associated with different eras and are therefore unique in their own particular ways. The architecture and artistic decoration are alive with symbolism in their shapes and many details.
