British Military Cemetery De Jacht is a quiet Commonwealth war-graves site associated with Leuven's wartime history. It is a small and sombre place, but the rows of graves give a direct human scale to the conflicts that passed through this university city and its surrounding countryside.
It is best visited respectfully as a short detour rather than a sightseeing highlight. Travellers with an interest in World War history may find it a meaningful complement to Leuven's better-known medieval and university landmarks.
