Sweco Architects：格罗夫纪念林是属于那些被遗忘的人的地方。它是一个寻求安慰、反思和缅怀逝去亲人的避难所，也是一个人们在失去朋友、父亲、姐妹甚至孩子之后，在困难时期寻求支持的庇护所。

Sweco Architects：A memorial grove is a place for those who were left behind. It is a refuge to visit in search for consolation, reflection and memory of beloved ones that passed away. It is an asylum for support in hard times after the loss of a friend, a dad, a sister, or even a child.

当哥德堡南部阿斯基姆的教区计划扩建他们的墓地时，他们决定将新的部分设计成一片纪念树林，而不是传统的棺材墓地。这座建于1879年的教堂坐落在一座山顶上，那里也有一座古老的墓地。这座山的北面有一个明显的边界，是由一堵大约5米高的花岗岩旧挡土墙形成的。基地是一个盆地的形状，地势较低的地方是以前没有利用起来的区域，曾经是一个带有小溪的浅峡谷，这里地面潮湿，长满了茂密的灌木丛。

When the parish in Askim, southern Gothenburg, planned to extend their burial grounds, it was decided that the new section should be designed as a memorial grove and not as a traditional coffin cemetery. The church from 1879 sits on top of a hill where also the old cemetery is laid out. The hill has a distinct border to the north formed by an old retaining wall in granite, about 5 meters high. At the lower level is an area which was formerly not specifically used. It has the shape of a basin and used to be a shallow ravine with a brook. The ground was moist and the area was filled with dense shrubbery.
