Lagaard Cemetery is one of Norway's grandest and most distinctive cemeteries. Since its consecration in 1834, the cemetery has undergone relatively few alternations. The cemetery is beautifully sheltered and with a variety of exotic plants it is reminiscent of southern latitudes. Lagaard Cemetery is one of the few preserved cemetereis in Norway where each burial plot is bounded by kerbstones and it contains many culturally and historically interesting memorials.
