French Cemetery (Französischer Friedhof)

Highlight • Historical Site

A little further away from the cemetery for the Austrian deceased, the French dead were buried here. They were also housed in Bensberg Castle, which was then a military hospital, and because of the risk of epidemics they were buried in the forest.
