The Belgian military cemetery of Ramskapelle is located near the Frontzate cycle path. This cemetery was created after the war. Field graves from the flooded area and graves from local municipal cemeteries were combined...

...In 1952, the body of a Belgian soldier came to the surface while ploughing. He was given a final resting place in this cemetery. His grave has no headstone to this day.
