Vestre Cemetery

Vestre Cemetery (Danish: Vestre Kirkegård, meaning "Western Cemetery") is located in a large park setting in the Kongens Enghave district of Copenhagen, Denmark. With its 54 hectares it is the largest cemetery in Denmark. The cemetery is landscaped and serves as an important open space, in which peo

ple take a stroll, and look at the old graves and monuments. It is located southwest of the city center, between the Carlsberg, Sydhavn, Sjælør and Valby train stations of Copenhagen's S-train network, and right next to the historic Carlsberg neighbourhood. The cemetery is one of five run by Copenhagen municipality. The other cemeteries are Assistens Cemetery, Brønshøj Cemetery, Sundby Cemetery, and Bispebjerg Cemetery. The cemetery has a Catholic section, and next to that is a Jewish cemetery (the Jewish Western Cemetery).
