Heliga Korsets Kapell: Holy Cross Chapel
Gunnar Asplund, 1940
Architect: Bengt Edman (1921-2000)
Built in: 1964-71
Builder: Akademiska Föreningen, Lund
When the Student Housing Sparta was built it was considered to be a bit out of town and was only surrounded by a few houses and fields. Then it was mostly students who visited Sparta. Now it is in the heart of the new Lund with the research village Ideon, the Hospital of Lund and the University as nearest neighbors.
Sparta is one of architect Bengt Edman’s buildings that are typical of the time. Sparta is considered as one of Lund's architectural treasures because of its exciting 70th century style. The building is characterized by attention to detail, lighting and materials.
Bengt Edman won his first architectural prize in 1950 for Villa Göth in Uppsala. Villa Bergh in Vellinge, built in 1965, represents the essence of Edman's simple architectural style, often called brutalism. 1962 was Bengt Edman employed as professor at The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University and in 1968 he won the Kasper Salin Prize for the Student Housing, Vildanden, in Lund. Shortly after, the controversial Sparta was built, a model building for the brutalism brick architecture.

The courthouse was designed 1919. The relatively small building has essentially only one significant facing, the broad gable facing with its segment shaped glass section that frames in the entrance door, has a connection to the older station structure, which is placed at the end of the extended alley. The purpose of this particular placement was to create a monumental and dignified environment.
