Cimetière des Oubliés, Historical cemetery near psychiatric hospital in Cadillac-sur-Garonne, France.

The cemetery contains 900 graves marked by iron crosses, with most identification plates now missing from their original locations.

Created in 1920, this burial ground served as the final resting place for psychiatric hospital patients and World War I veterans with brain injuries.

The cemetery walls display 3401 civilian names and 160 military veterans, including 88 Senegalese soldiers and prisoners from Germany, Austria, and Hungary.

The cemetery remains open to visitors from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM throughout the year.

The former gravedigger's house has been transformed into an interpretation center, documenting the stories of those buried in unmarked graves.
