Skogskyrkogården

The Skogskyrkogarden, also known as the Woodland Cemetery, is a cemetery in Stockholm, Sweden designed by Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz in 1915. It reflects the development of architecture from Nordic Classicism to mature functionalism. The architects used the natural landscape to create an environment of tranquil beauty. The cemetery was modeled after German forest cemeteries and neoclassical paintings. The cemetery has winding paths, a large pond, and a tree-lined meditation hill. Asplund dealt mainly with the buildings and the small Woodland Crematorium.
