How godparenthood contributes to the future of Begraafplaats Oude Brug

Also discover the restoration and stories of the fifth oldest cemetery outside the church environment of Flanders. The working group Funerair Erfgoed van Koninklijke Heemkring De Souvereinen, in collaboration with the City Archives, is organizing a guided walk at the fifth oldest cemetery outside the church environment of Flanders. The walk runs along old grave monuments that have been restored by the city. The restorer provides explanations on site. Not only the architectural style of the grave monuments is discussed, but also the stories of the people buried there. In addition, there is attention for sponsorship and loan. With people who commit themselves to this, the monuments are in good hands: they maintain the grave with care and dedication when the concession has expired, and thus preserve it for the future.
