    The forest cemetery of Birgelen with the cemetery chapel is located on a hilltop of the Rurhöhenzuges. The cemetery was laid out on the former mountain church before 1800 and historical tombstones from the 15th to 19th centuries can still be found here today.

      The brick chapel was donated in 1872 as a burial chapel for the Barons von Leykam at Elsum Castle.

      The chapel stands on the site of the old mountain church and is registered as an architectural monument in the list of monuments of the city of Wassenberg.

        Our hike took us to this historic burial ground. Nice to find such ancient historical testimonies.
