Historical background
In autumn of 1914 an architectural competition for the design of a new cemetery in Enschede in the south of Stockholm was announced. In 1915 the design of young architects of functionalism Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz was chosen. Works started in 1917 in an old borrow area overrun with pine trees. Thus appeared Skogskyrkogården (“forest cemetery”), which amazing serenity had an impact on cemetery designs across the world. In 1994 the cemetery was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now it is the most visited tourist attraction.
