April 23: Southern Finland tour – Chapel of the Resurrection, Turku

The other chapel in the cemetery was the Resurrection Chapel by Erik Bryggman, completed in 1941.

The refuge/outlook created by the boulders was probably my favorite space in the whole cemetery.

These tower stairs were a really neat place as well.
