About this cemetery
Uppsala Old Churchyard lies in the centre of Uppsala and is known for its many deciduous trees and avenues. It has about 14,000 graves, and sources trace its origins to the 1600s, with one giving the 1650s. The old grave chapel was built in 1882-83 to designs by the architect Carl Axel Ekholm, replacing an earlier chapel nearby. Many graves, especially in the oldest eastern part, have artistic decoration.
