Assistens Cemetery Today
The cemetery is still serving its original purpose as a burial ground but is also a popular tourist attraction, as well as the largest and most important greenspace in the inner part of the Nørrebro district.
It is divided into sections. The oldest part is Section A and features the graves of Søren Kierkegaard and the painter Christen Købke among others. Section D is dedicated to Catholic Reformed graves as well as Russian graves. Section E is the section which originally served under Church of Our Lady.
