Near Burg Castle (Solingen-Unterburg), a tranquil 18th century Protestant church is hidden on the banks of the Wupper. The adjacent cemetery was established shortly after the church was built in 1744. What is special about it are the 105 sandstone gravestones of the time, 52 of which are still preserved today. If you look closely, you can still see an angel's head that once adorned each of these gravestones. In addition, the family name was added in the form of a picture or a symbol (for example a fish for fishermen).
