Very large cemetery for the war victims. It is interesting that, unlike in many other military cemeteries, there are more individual graves and not everything is monotonously laid out in a row.

National War Cemetery Loenen is a cemetery of honor located in Loenen near Apeldoorn, which was inaugurated on March 21, 1949 and was officially opened on 18 October 1949 by Princess Wilhelmina. There are nearly 4000 Dutch war victims.

An important feature of the Loenen Field of Honor is the interior. The graves are almost inconspicuously spread over a forest area with a total area of 17 hectares. Here are no straight rows of crosses, but graves, decorated with lying stones. Each inscription hides its own history. The Loenen field of honor gives a good picture of the variety of victims of the Second World War. Among them are fallen soldiers, but also many civilians: resistance fighters, political prisoners, Englanders and victims of forced employment (Arbeitseinsatz) in Germany.

In the center of the plot is the chapel with a shrine for the Commemorative Books, the wall plate with the names of England sailors and a few urns with ashes from concentration camps. Since the 1980s, the plot has not only been the final resting place for victims of the Second World War. Also soldiers and civilians who died during humanitarian and / or peace missions are (re) buried there.

Opening hours: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (including weekends).
