Skogskapellet

The Skogskapellet, aslo known as the Forest Chapel, was the first chapel in Skogskyrkogarden built in 1919. Gunnar Asplund imagined the chapel begin built with stone but it was going to be too expensive to build with that material. After visiting Denmark, his designs became a simple wooden chapel. The building is supported by twelve columns, one for each of the apostles. It has a black roof to contrast the white columns and walls of the building. Benches and chairs were designed by Asplund himself. The interior design language is completely separated from the exterior.
