The Kloosterhof Cemetery on the Kloosterdijk in Bredevoort was laid out in 1862\u20131863 and originally served as a Roman Catholic cemetery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oldest, centrally located section features a symmetrical layout with a distinctive entrance gate, a mortuary that also functions as a workshop, and rows of graves facing a Calvary Cross at the rear of the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, the cemetery was extended with a general section. In 1989, a mortuary building was also erected, providing facilities for the deceased to lie in state, for families to pay their last respects, and for offering condolences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, the Municipality of Aalten announced that part of the cemetery would be designated as a natural burial ground. This development aligns with modern wishes and needs regarding burial. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
