Since 2005, a small stupa, a Buddhist sacred building, has stood at the Central Cemetery. The Buddhist cemetery is unique in Europe. At the opening, holy texts were encased in the stupa by Buddhist monks. Buddhists can choose between cremation and burial.

This cemetery is a special place. Big as a small town. An impressive facility with a wide variety of graves. Should be seen and experienced. Power humble.
