About this cemetery
Tønsberg old cemetery lies in the centre of the town, between Kaptein Hoffs allé, Halfdan Wilhelmsens allé and the railway. Local history sources date its establishment to 1854, and it was used for coffin burials until 1974. An older graveyard stood nearby at Borgermesterløkka, now Stoltenbergparken. Svend Foyn is among the well-known people buried here.
