Description

Schoonselhof cemetery is Antwerp's equivalent of Père Lachaise. Just like its even more famous Parisian counterpart, Schoonselhof boasts monumental graves and lots of greenery in addition to being the final resting place of many celebrities. The sprawling cemetery is set on 84 hectares.

Schoonselhof is an old castle estate, of which the castle has been preserved. It has been a public cemetery since 1921 and includes military and Jewish burial grounds. Julien Schoenaerts, La Esterella, Herman De Coninck, Hendrik Conscience, Peter Benoit, and other great Flemings are all buried here.
