Höör Chapel

Abstract

Höör lies almost in the middle of Scania, a province at the south tip of Sweden. Its nearly 15,000 inhabitants live in a couple of villages which, since the end of the sixties, form a community completely shaped by rural tourism. When the churchyard was extended at the beginning of the seventies, a chapel was also added. As the site slopes distinctly to the south, it was not difficult to separate the lower level, which was reserved for the preparation of funerals, functionally and visually from the upper floor. This meant that the chapel could also be used for services on Sundays.
