In the lanes of the Dieweg cemetery

The Dieweg cemetery in Uccle, inaugurated in 1867 and classified in 1997, is exceptional. It is not only the final resting place of Brussels personalities but also a green zone with high biological value. Discover with our guide the graves of architects Paul Hankar and Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar, the feminist Isabelle Gatti de Gamond, members of the Allard family, the lawyer Charles Woeste of Henry Dachsbeck... Funerals are no longer allowed here. One of the exceptions accepted by the municipality was for Georges Rémi... Hergé. De Dieweg is also a resting place for the Jewish community. Since the end of the 50s, the cemetery has been out of use and nature has reclaimed its rights here and there, which gives it a special atmosphere. Fauna and flora are also on the program to discover.
