Oud Kerkhof, Historic cemetery in Hasselt, Belgium
The Oud Kerkhof cemetery covers 11,125 square meters and features high brick walls, ornamental gates, and a central mortuary chapel built in 1809.
Established in 1796 following French regulations prohibiting burials within city walls, the cemetery remained the primary burial site in Hasselt until 1930.

Visitors can follow marked routes through the grounds while reading informational signs about notable graves and the site's historical significance.
