Östra kyrkogården, Malmö, Architectural ensemble and cemetery in Rosengård, Sweden

Östra kyrkogården is an architectural ensemble and cemetery in Rosengård, Malmö, containing four chapels set within its grounds. These include St. Bridget, constructed in 1918, and a pair of modern twin chapels called St. Gertrude and St. Knut, built in 1943.

In 1917 Malmö held an architectural competition for a new cemetery, won by Sigurd Lewerentz with the entry "Ås" (ridge). From 1917 to 1969 he was responsible for all major new buildings and changes on the grounds, and he is buried here. St. Bridget's chapel followed in 1918, the twin chapels St. Gertrude and St. Knut in 1943, and his flower kiosk in 1969.

The cemetery contains separate burial areas for Catholic, Orthodox Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities, each reflecting the spiritual traditions of those who rest there. Walking through these sections, visitors encounter different styles of memorials and gravestones that show how various faiths mark and remember their dead.

The cemetery lies in the Öster district of Malmö, with a tram line 6 that once ran to its east entrance, replaced by buses in 1949. The grounds slope gently, with mown grass and a low dirt path in the foreground leading up toward the graves. Lewerentz's concrete flower kiosk of 1969 stands on the site and draws architecture visitors.

The flower kiosk of 1969 was Sigurd Lewerentz's last building, and he is buried in the cemetery he shaped from 1917 onward. The raw-concrete kiosk draws architecture visitors from around the world.
