Impressive cemetery, worth a stop when visting the South Limburg area.
Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial的点评
点评:I recently enjoyed a tour at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial, a Second World War military war grave cemetery, located in the village of Margraten, 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Maastricht.
The cemetery, the only American one in the Netherlands and dedicated in 1960, contains a constantly varying number above 8,000 American war dead and covers 65.5 acres (26.5 ha).
Simple but elegant architecture and the well maintained gardens and fields are a beautiful setting to those who lost their life and to those who pay their respect.
The new visitor centre (2023) is worth a visit and gives a good overview what kind of an impact WW11 had on the area and rest of the region.
You can pay a free visit to the cemetery. There is sufficient parking, rest rooms and there is also free access to those keen to visit the vistor centre.
翻译:我最近参观了荷兰美国公墓和纪念馆,这是一座二战军人墓地,位于马斯特里赫特以东 10 公里(6.2 英里)的马格拉滕村。
该公墓是荷兰唯一的美国公墓,于 1960 年落成,埋葬了 8,000 多名美国战争死难者,人数不断变化,占地 65.5 英亩(26.5 公顷)。
简单而优雅的建筑和精心维护的花园和田野为那些失去生命的人和那些表达敬意的人提供了一个美丽的环境。
新的游客中心(2023 年)值得一游,可以很好地概述 WW11 对该地区和该地区其他地方的影响。
您可以免费参观公墓。这里有足够的停车位和休息室,热衷于参观游客中心的人也可以免费进入。
