Skive Cemetery is one of the most beautifully situated cemeteries in Denmark, as it is located on the slope down towards the river valley. The cemetery contains graves from the last few hundred years. Behind each gravestone is a wealth of stories about the people who have populated Skive.
All this can be discovered thursday, June 27 at 19:00 when Skive Cemetery and Skive City Archive invite you on a walking tour.
During the walk, city archivist Kristian Buhl Thomsen will talk about some of the people buried in Skive Cemetery. Many of the Skiveites who have played a role in the history of the city and the region over the last 100 years are buried here. High and low, side by side. That’s why you can get a lot of Skive’s history in just a few meters.
Cemetery manager Ann Dora Meier and cemetery assistant Rikke Engmark will also talk about the operation of the cemetery, including work on climate and biodiversity.
