Dieweg Cemetery, Protected heritage cemetery in Uccle, Belgium.
The cemetery spans across a green space where nature has taken over the graves, creating a mix of vegetation and stone monuments.
Established in 1866 following a cholera epidemic, the cemetery served as the primary burial ground for Brussels residents until its closure in 1958.
The cemetery contains graves of notable figures including Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, known professionally as Hergé, creator of The Adventures of Tintin.
Visitors can access the cemetery from Monday to Friday between 8:30 and 16:00, and during weekends from 9:30 to 16:30 through the main entrance.
Over 200 plant species grow among the tombs and monuments, transforming the burial ground into a natural sanctuary with rich biodiversity.
