Cemetery or park - or would you prefer both?
That's a question you might ask about the Assistens Cemetery in Svendborg.
The first impression you get through the cemetery gate is that this must be a park, but even if the park-like feel is emphasized, it is primarily a cemetery where the first burial took place in 1821.
The first burials in the newly established Assistens Cemetery took place on the hill in front of Valdemarsgade, but eventually the possibilities
for burial in this new cemetery were exhausted.
As a result, the cemetery was expanded several times.
