Graftombe van de heren van IJsselstein, Medieval tomb monument in IJsselstein, Netherlands.

The Graftombe van de heren van IJsselstein features four life-sized stone effigies of nobles lying with their hands folded in prayer position.

The tomb houses Gijsbrecht van Amstel, Bertha van Heukelom, Arnold van IJsselstein, and Maria van Avesnes, influential nobles from the 14th century.

The monument displays medieval craftsmanship through detailed sculptures, including lions at the men's feet symbolizing strength and dogs at the women's feet representing loyalty.

Located in the Sint-Nicolaaskerk church choir, the tomb measures four meters in length and two and a half meters in width, constructed from Namur stone.

This monument stands as one of only two tombs in Western Europe depicting two married couples, with the other being the Mathefelon family tomb in Chaloché Abbey.
