Tomb of Lepejou, Historical grave in Haerst, Netherlands
The tomb features two stones, one with Latin text stating the death date of July 23, 1828, and another with Arabic inscriptions.
Lepejou, born on the island of Celebes to enslaved parents August and Jeanette, came to the Netherlands after encountering Joan Hendrik Tobias.
The presence of both Arabic and Latin inscriptions on the stones indicates the intersection of Islamic and European burial traditions in 19th century Netherlands.
Visitors can find this historical burial site on the grounds of the Huize Arnichem Estate, located near the hamlet of Haerst in Zwolle.
Local residents of Haerst maintain a weather-related saying referencing Apolloon, Lepejou's alternative name, during thunderstorms.
