Aanleg van de begraafplaats

The cemetery includes carefully arranged rows of graves, monuments, and memorials within a structured layout that follows utilitarian design principles.

The cemetery was established in 1823 as part of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid initiative to provide burial grounds for residents of three institutions for vagrants.

The burial ground serves as a memorial site where regular commemorative events bring together people to share stories about the colony's social impact.

Located in the municipality of Noordenveld, the cemetery maintains detailed burial records dating back to 1875, containing information about sixteen thousand interments.

The cemetery grounds contain archaeological evidence of medieval settlements, including remnants of a 14th-century chapel discovered during excavations.
