Skogskyrkogården was created between 1915 and 1940 by architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz. Their mission was to create a unity of landscape and buildings that gives us visitors an experience of both life and death, hope and sorrow, light and darkness, nature and architecture — the cycle of life.
