🎧  Listen to Introduction

This Stockholm cemetery was built between 1917 and 1920 by two young architects, Asplund and Lewerentz, on the site of an old gravel pit surrounded by pine trees. The design blends vegetation and architectural elements, using the irregularities of the site to create a landscape that is well adapted to its function and has had a lasting impact in many countries around the world.
