About this cemetery
Turku Cemetery (Åbo begravningsplats) was inaugurated in 1807 and lies in Vasaramäki on the south-eastern outskirts of Turku. Its plans were drawn by the architect Charles Bassi, and it contains two chapel complexes, including the Resurrection Chapel. It is regarded as one of the most culturally and historically significant cemeteries in Finland, alongside Hietaniemi in Helsinki. Further details are available from turunseurakunnat.fi.
