Minneslunden, Östra kyrkogården, Malmö
Architect: Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975)
In the Eastern Cemetery is one of Sweden’s first memorial gardens (Minneslund). It was initially used as a ceremonial space for burials but was in 1959 converted to a memorial garden. Fredrik Åberg's artwork "Recycling" and a pond is now the center of the garden.
The Eastern Cemetery (Östra kyrkogården) is famous for its design and beauty far beyond Swedens borders. The Cemetery was created by the architect Sigurd Lewerentz, who from 1916 until his death in 1975 was engaged in the cemetery's various stages of development. After a contest Lewerentz was chosen to design the cemetery and the related buildings.
