Memorial cemetery Loenen, War cemetery in Loenen, Netherlands

The National War Cemetery spans 17 hectares of forested land and contains flat stone markers for over 3,900 individuals who died in military conflicts.

The Dutch government established this cemetery in 1947 to repatriate remains of citizens who perished abroad during World War II and subsequent conflicts.

The central chapel displays commemorative books, a wooden triptych listing Engelandvaarders names, and urns containing soil from concentration camps.

Located at Groenendaalseweg 64 in Loenen, the cemetery provides a space for visitors to honor military personnel, resistance members, and civilian casualties.

The cemetery includes graves of Dutch citizens who attempted to reach England during World War II, along with victims from peacekeeping missions in Korea and Mali.
