Grafkelder van Nassau-Bergen

The Nassau-Bergen burial vault is located in the northern chapel of the Ruïnekerk, featuring an oak fence from the mid-17th century and natural stone walls.

The vault contains the remains of several Nassau family members, including Willem Adriaan II van Nassau-LaLecq who died in 1759 and Wigbold Adriaan van Nassau in 1797.

The burial vault represents the connection between the Nassau noble family and the town of Bergen, reflecting their regional influence during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Visitors can access the burial vault during the opening hours of the Ruïnekerk, which regularly hosts church services and maintains the historical site.

The vault's stone walls display bullet marks from the Battle of Bergen in 1799, when intense fighting occurred around the church building.
