Sankta Anna och Sankta Katarina kapell

Sankta Anna och Sankta Katarina kapell consists of two linked chapels within a cemetery grounds in Halmstad that serve memorial and funeral functions for the community. The larger Katarina chapel holds approximately 120 people, while the smaller Anna chapel accommodates about 40 people for more intimate ceremonies.

The Katarina chapel opened in 1941 following a design by architect Adolf Wiman from Växjö. The Anna chapel was added 40 years later in 1980 to provide additional space for smaller ceremonies.

The interior of Sankta Katarina features artwork that explores themes of departure and new beginnings, made visible through its decorative elements. These pieces shape how people experience the space during their visits.

The complex is located within cemetery grounds with good pathways and accessibility. Visitors should know this is a quiet, respectful space where access is typically arranged for specific services and events.

A distinctive feature is Vårhemstugan, a former temporary parish building that became a permanent structure on the grounds in 1979. This outbuilding demonstrates how the site developed over time.
