Ytterjärna

A Bench With A View Greece Runestone Ytterjärna Kyrka Ytterjärna
Out on a drive in Södertälje with one of the usual suspects we drove up the hill overlooking the Järnafjärden bay. On the top of that hill, you have a great view of the surroundings, especially from that bench. The heavily damaged runestone on the second photo can be seen at the Ytterjärna cemetery. Made from sandstone. As per usual by the church people back in the day, they used it as a stair stone! And because of that, you can't read the runic inscription, but it is possible that it mentions someone traveling to the Byzantine empire. Which means that it could be one of the 30 known Greece Runestones. Restored back in 2010 by the RAÄ. The church itself dates back 900 years, it was tricky to shoot and in the end I photographed it as a panorama, so it is thirteen photos stitched together. The property to the left on the last photo is called Pilsberg and this is the road we arrived on. There are a few interesting trails here including the 13 km long Ekoleden, the much shorter Nibbleleden, and the 12 km Kustleden, chanses are that I will walk them later in the year.

Kristofferuskyrkan

Kristofferuskyrkan
The church at Saltå kvarn (mill), in Järna, just down the road from the Anthroposophy centre at Ytterjärna. Built back in the 1960s. The architect was Walter Druml. Building materials include clay, straw, and fertilizer. There are around 300 members using the church.

Ytterjärna Architecture

Almandinen Ytterjärna Architecture Organic Architecture
A few more buildings from my visit to "Antroposoferna" in Ytterjärna. All three buildings that you can see here were designed by the Danish architect Erik Assmussen. The first photo shows a building he called Almandinen, the music house. After my walk with the camera I had my hopes up for a "fika", but the cafe was closed so we continued down the road and I will show you some photos from that stop tomorrow.

Architecture and Lifestyle

The Cultural Centre Robygge
How do you like these buildings? Funky is what I call them. The top one is a hotel, the second one a shop and a (closed), cafe at Ytterjärna. The architect was danish, Erik Asmussen. He got his inspiration from Goetheanum. These buildings are part of the Anthroposophy Centre at Ytterjärna. I don't do religion, but I do like my coffee and my architecture.
