Huguenot Cemetery, Cemetery in Cork City Center, Ireland
The cemetery contains marked graves and headstones dating from the early 18th century, with inscriptions in both French and English.
The cemetery opened between 1710 and 1733 to serve French Protestant refugees who settled in Cork after fleeing religious persecution in their homeland.
The burial ground reflects the influence of French Protestants in Cork, where eleven members of their community served as city mayors from 1694 to 1840.
The cemetery grounds, located near French Church Street, are maintained by Cork City Council and remain open for public viewing throughout the year.
This graveyard stands as one of only two remaining Huguenot cemeteries in western Europe, containing the remains of at least one former Lord Mayor of Cork.
