Vika - Hosjo parish was formed in the New Year 2012 when Vika and Hosjo parishes merged. Through the centuries, the churches Vika and Hosjo have been close together. Vika parish has roots right into the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, a chapel was built in Hosjo when the distance between Vika and Hosjo often felt too far. In 1940, Hosjo became a separate congregation.

4.5 based on 506 reviews
The Unesco World Heritage Skogskyrkogården is beautiful all year round, much due to the unique way it is woven into the landscape. The cemetery never closes, so you can easily acces the World Heritage when you prefer, throughout the year. More than 2,000 funeral ceremonies take place at the Skogskyrkogården each year. This means that the five chapels are in frequent use and therefore closed to the public. If you are interested in the chapels and their interiors, come along for a public guided tour or book a private tour. We also have audio and visitor's guides, which you can download prior to your visit. Please visit our website for more information.

I enjoyed wandering around the cemetery on Christmas Day with unfortunately all chapels closed (Lewerentz, Asplund). The landscaping is remarkable and the attention to detail. The new crematory all in brick is another architectural highlight. The places are easily accessible from the Tunnelbana station named after the cemetery grounds.
