Explore Religious Heritage Across Europe

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest gravestone relates to the mid-19th century, so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. First, it appears on Austrian maps of the 1880s and later on Polish maps of 1939.

Built in the mid 15th century, it is possible that today’s Gothic hall church with equally high chancel and nave replaced a former Romanesque basilica. As a rarity in the Transylvanian fortified churches, the church in Șoarș bears the remains of a jube at the base of its triumphal arch. The jube used to separate the chancel from the nave, just like the iconostasis separates the altar from the naos in the orthodox churches. The gallery, accessible by stairs, was the place dedicated to lectures on religious topics. The fortified church still preserves the in the meanwhile lowered bell tower, but lost its defence wall, which was dismantled in the 20th century, the resulting material being used for the building of the in the meantime ruinous school. A fortified house formerly used as granary is preserved on the southern side.

The first recorded mention of the existence of this cemtery dates to 1861, in correspondence concerning the independence of Sochocin Jews from the synagogue supervision in Płońsk. In 2016-2018, the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in cooperation with ESJF and the US Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, fenced the cemetery with a wall made of concrete prefabricated elements. There are two memorials, dedicated to the local Jewish community. The first memorial consists of two plaques, attached to the interior side of the entrance pillar, with the surnames of Jewish families who lived in Sochocin before WW2. The second memorial is an obelisk, over which surnames of local families, known to be buried in the cemetery, are written.

The oldest parts of Södra Åsum Old Church date from the 12th century. These are the nave, choir and apse. The stepped gable tower was added later in the Middle Ages but was rebuilt in the 1760s. In the 1890s, the old church was deemed too small and worn out. A new church was therefore built, Södra Åsum Church, which was consecrated in 1902.

Södra Åsums Church, consecrated in 1902, replaced the former neighbouring Södra Åsum Church. The church was designed by the architect August Lindvall in the neo-Gothic style. The building materials are brick and stone for the foundations. The heavy stone pillars are made from a single block of local stone.

The Södra Råda Gamla Church used to be a timbered church from the beginning of the 14th century. It was one of the oldest preserved wooden churches in Sweden and it was especially known for its wonderful preserved paintings which covered the walls and ceiling. The oldest images were dated from 1323. The works were considered one of the best-preserved Scandinavian paintings from the Middle Ages. On the 12th of November 2001, the church burned down. A man, who was mentally ill, was convicted for enlighting the fire which had destroyed the church. Since then, a project led by the Swedish National Heritage Board has been excavating the site and reconstructing the church. They decided to only use medieval methods to reconstruct everything.

Sofia Albertina Church was started in 1754 and designed by Carl Hårleman. In 1788, the church was consecrated as Sofia Albertina Church, named after Gustav III's sister, Sofia Albertina. The church replaced a 15th-century church called Johannes Döparens Church, which was demolished when a military commander deemed it too close to the city fortress.

The Sofia church, named after Queen Sofia (1872-1907), was built in the 1880s and received its neo-gothic style from the architect Gustaf Dahl. The church is a basilica with an open wooden roof, a three-storey long house with five trusses, and one-sided arms of the cross and a three-sided cross. The arches, which connect the columns together, are pointed and give the church hall an airy and spacious appearance. The church in Sofia was renovated and reopened to the public in 2005.

The Sofia Synagogue, built between 1905 and 1909, is the largest Sephardic synagogue in Europe. Inspired by the Vienna Synagogue, the architect Friedrich Grünanger designed the monumental building in the neo-Moorish style. Today, the synagogue houses the Jewish History Museum.

The Sofiemyr church was built in 1987 and consists of three cubic brick volumes organized around an inner square of the church, connected by streets. The Sofiemyr church appears as a multi-purpose facility that can accommodate many different activities.
