American Cemetery Margraten
A powerful place of remembrance and reflection. The American Cemetery in Margraten is one of the most significant memorial sites in the Netherlands and serves as a lasting tribute to those who helped liberate Europe during the Second World War.
Take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made for freedom. The cemetery is the final resting place of 8,301 American service members, while the names of 1,722 missing soldiers are inscribed on the impressive Walls of the Missing.
The distinctive memorial tower, rising more than 30 metres above the landscape, can be seen from far across the surrounding countryside.
The cemetery forms part of the Liberation Route Europe, an international memorial trail connecting important landmarks and stories from modern European history.
A visit to Margraten is a moving and memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression.
