Lund-Fredentorp cemetary-Photo album

cemetery in northern Lund. When excavations were carried out in the Repslagaren quarter in 1978, the foundations of a medieval church and associated cemetery were found. In 1983, the over 2,000 remains were moved here for a second resting place.

3/1 2009: I ride my bike to Fredentorp cemetery in northern Lund. When I start to bike a heavy wet snow starts falling. In addition, I have head wind. When I arrive at the cemetary is it sleet. I leave my bicycle at the entrance and go on the way up to St. Stephen's 'church'. When one 1978 dug out the block Repslagaren inside the city was the foundations of the medieval church and the cemetery found. 1983 did one move the more than 2000 remains here for a second final rest. Stones from the church foundation is laid out to mark the grave site and in form the church had. There are not many other graves here. North of the 'church' is a memorial. In the cemetery runs a stream in which dams are built. In the northeast is an area with graves. The name sounds Arabic and many tombstones have a crescent as a symbol. Maybe a Muslim cemetery. It is now only rain falling. I return to 'the church'. I have coffee and brandy with me, is it unpolite to warm myself with cognac here? I ride my bike home in the rain. At the railway passage is an information sign about Vallkärra stråket, a promenade between St Hans hills and Vallkärra. But that must be when it is warmer weather. I have a problem with the residential district of the Annehem area, I think it looks the same everywhere.
