Enclosure of the Executed, War cemetery and protected heritage site in Schaerbeek, Belgium.

The Enclos des Fusillés occupies a rectangular plot on a steep slope, featuring aligned crosses, Stars of David, and concrete steles surrounded by cherry trees.

During World War I and II, German forces executed 296 individuals at this former National Shooting Range location, transforming it into a memorial after 1945.

The cemetery contains a 1970 memorial with a tall stele and an urn holding relics from concentration camp victims to honor an unidentified Belgian political prisoner.

Visitors can access the memorial grounds through Rue Colonel Bourg 102, near the RTBF-VRT media complex in the Mediapark area of Brussels.

Every last Sunday of April, Belgian officials gather at this site to commemorate prisoners of World War II concentration camps.
