“A unique place” is how some describe Hyllie Kyrkogård. Hyllie Kyrkogård is a place for reflection. It offers a space for peace and remembrance.
Hyllie Kyrkogård belongs to Malmö. It is part of the parish in Malmö municipality. But Hyllie Kyrkogård has a long history.
Let’s travel back in time. Imagine Hyllie in the early 1200s. The church stood in Hyllie village. The Hyllie Kyrkogård is still there.
In 1889, the old church was torn down. Limhamns Church replaced it. It opened in 1890.
But Hyllie’s legacy lived on. Items moved from Hyllie to the new church. These items included church bells and seven oil paintings. Also a crucifix, a sabre, and a baptismal font were moved.
The cross marks Hyllie’s old church site. Now consider Hyllie’s surroundings today.
Hyllie is an expanding area. It is a new centre. Over 20,000 people visit daily. They come to the station, Emporia and the arena. People also visit the swimming pool and workplaces.
Hyllie is multicultural. Old meets new. City meets countryside. Hyllie Kyrkogård is part of this. It stands as a link to the past.
Today about 70 gravestones are inventoried. The Swedish Church of Malmö manages Hyllie Kyrkogård. Hyllie Kyrkogård is a special place. It connects us to history. It offers peace in a changing world. Remember the stories held within these grounds. They remind us of life and memory in Hyllie.
