About

Lie cemetery is a burial ground close to Skien church. The cemetery was rehabilitated in 2014-2017, and is both a historic cemetery and a cemetery that is still in use today.

Henrik Ibsen's parents are buried at Lie cemetery
Henrik Ibsen's parents Knut and Marichen Ibsen are buried here, in separate places, as they lived separately in the last years of their lives. Their daughter Hedvig Stousland and her husband, as well as their daughter Anna and son Carl, also have their resting place here.

The story of Lie cemetery
Lie cemetery in Skien, was given in 1841 as a gift from Chr. H. Blom to the Skien parish. Being the socially engaged man that he was, he did not settle for that. He also made sure to plan the entire area, plant it and fence it all off. (Source: Byvandring i Skien, published in 1995 by the Fortidsminneforeningen and Skien municipality)
