Kolerakyrkogården

Kolerakyrkogården spans across a section of southern Stockholm, featuring stone pathways, green spaces, and a collection of preserved grave markers.

Established in 1809 for soldiers of the Finnish War, the cemetery later became the final resting place for victims of the 1834 cholera epidemic.

The site transformation from a burial ground to a public park in 1947 reflects Stockholm's approach to preserving historical spaces while serving community needs.

Located near Gullmarsplan station, the grounds contain walking paths, benches, and informational signs explaining the location's historical significance.

During the cholera outbreak of 1834, the cemetery implemented mass graves containing up to 16 coffins each due to the high mortality rate.
