Lie Cemetery.

In this cemetery lie several of Henrik Ibsen's close relatives and individuals from the circle around his upbringing. The only family member Henrik Ibsen himself initiated contact with was his father, Knud Ibsen. Henrik sent him a letter in 1875, after 25 years of silence. They likely exchanged letters a couple of times during the last two years of his father's life. As the gravestone tells, Knud Ibsen died in 1877. In this cemetery, you will find the graves of Henrik Ibsen's mother and father. Here also lies his sister, Hedvig Stousland, and her family. Henrik Ibsen is buried at Our Savior's Cemetery in Oslo, while his younger brother, Ole, rests in Stavern. Johan never had a grave but died as a gold miner in California. Nicolai is buried in Iowa under the inscription "By strangers honored and strangers mourned." If you look around the cemetery, you will find important names from the Ibsen family's closest circle.
