About this cemetery
Schoonselhof is the municipal cemetery of Antwerp, lying in the districts of Hoboken and Wilrijk. The city bought the Schoonselhof estate in 1911 on the initiative of alderman Frans van Kuyck, and it has served as the public cemetery since 1921. It is a park cemetery of more than 84 hectares and also contains a Commonwealth military cemetery with graves from both world wars.
