About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Between 1588 and 1765 sixteen member of the family Nassau-Diez were intered in this church: six stadtholders of Friesland, their spouses and children. Most of them were buried in two caves, six coffins were placed aboveground, in a chapel. There were also a few monuments.

In 1795 the Netherlands were occupied by French troops. This was followed by the so-called Velvet Revolution.
The hatred towards the aristocracy of the ancien régime included the former stadtholders and their family. In the month of August their monuments were destroyed, the vault was opened and plundered, coffins of zinc or lead were stolen to be remelted and the bones and skulls thrown away.

After World war II a wooden new monument was erected and scutcheons were hanged on the walls.
