Zuiderhof, Cemetery with Rijksmonument status in Hilversum, Netherlands
The cemetery features a light colonnade surrounding three sides of a tiled courtyard with a pond, while the fourth side opens to a road.
Built between 1957 and 1964, architect Willem Marinus Dudok designed this cemetery as part of the Netherlands post-war reconstruction program Beschermingsprogramma Wederopbouw.
The design principles emphasize spatial relationships and minimal architectural elements to create an environment suitable for memorial services and reflection.
Located at Kolhornseweg 13 in Hilversum, the cemetery includes an aula overlooking grassy areas, grave fields, and a crematorium facility added in 2016.
The cemetery transitions naturally into the adjacent Hoorneboegseheide landscape, incorporating the natural environment into its memorial grounds design.
