Cemetery of the First World War under the authority of the Portuguese Government which has brought together, since 1924, 1,831 bodies from the battlefields of France, Belgium and Germany. The memorial in the background was inaugurated in November 1928. The walls, the monumental gate and the tombs were built in 1935 with materials directly imported from Portugal. Classified as a historic monument since 2017, it is the only exclusively Portuguese cemetery in France.

The military cemetery commemorates English soldiers of Portuguese origin who died in the First World War. It is the only one of its kind in all of France.
