The Crematory was built in two phases; Architect Ragnar Östberg, well-known for the construction of the City Hall in Stockholm, was commissioned to design the first part, which consisted of the island with the Temple and a temple courtyard surrounded by a canal. In 1962 expanded the facility under architect Helge Zimdal’s management and the remaining sections were added.
The artwork “the Beams of Hope” (Hoppets strålar – in Swedish) in glass. It is created by the artist Edvin Öhrström. The beautiful artwork is placed in the atrium just outside the entrance to the chapels. Öhrström is more known for the sculpture Crystal Vertical Accent, Kristallvertikalaccent (in Swedish), the glass pillar at Sergels torg, Stockholm.
More information about the facility at the Swedish Church’s pages (in Swedish). Here you can see older pictures from different eras.

Architect: Jaenecke & Samuelson – Fritz Jaenecke and Sten Samuelson
Built in: 1967
Client: AB Hälsingborgshem
Hamilton House is actually the name of the farm that formerly stood at the site, built by Count Hamilton. The Danish architect Ferdinand Meldahl should have been responsible for the design in 1851-52. The original Hamilton House burned to the ground in 1868. A new building was built the same year with Mauritz Frohm as an architect and Count De la Gardie as project contractor. In the early 1960s Hamilton House was sold and in the beginning of 1965 it was torn down.
On the site it was decided to build the giant complex Hamilton 3 in 1967. It includes both commercial and service buildings and a long six-storey residential building. The designs and drawings came from the consulting firm Jaenecke-Samuelson AB.
The brutalist concrete building stretches out its about 180-meter long façade and is, to say the least, eye catching. The Building has clear references to Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation, with its rough concrete and thick pilotis. The property also includes an underground garage.
The building is currently classified as an especially valuable building in the conservation program (in Swedish) for the city of Helsingborg and is considered a good example of prefabricated buildings at the time.
