Skogskyrkogarden, or in its English translation Woodland Cemetery, is the final resting place of one of its architects, Gunnar Asplund. It is said that the aim for the creation of this cemetery was to be a landmass that would bring together architecture and nature and Asplund did just that. He and his partner Lewerentz designed a cemetery that was not only an honoring of those who have passed but also paying homage to the countryside of which those who rest there might have once walked.

Within the grounds of the very open and easy to access cemetery, Asplund and Lewerentz designed chapels that would fit in with the flow of the land and would be a panoramic shot of the land and what was sacred. It is a scene from a Nordic fairy tale and has been kept true to the original vision of the architects.

Sadly, Asplund never got to see the long term impact of his work. It was only four months after the inauguration of the chapels on his grounds that he had passed away, unable to witness the long-standing effect of his work. He was buried outside the Chapel of Faith, one of the previously mentioned chapels that were newly inaugurated.
