About this cemetery
Katarina churchyard lies beside Katarina Church on the eastern part of Södermalm in Stockholm. Its origins are old: a chapel, the Chapel of the Holy Cross, stood in the southern part as early as the 1330s and was demolished in the 16th century, and a burial ground may also have existed beside it. The church was built between 1656 and 1695, and the churchyard belongs to Katarina parish.
