Oud Eik en Duinen Cemetery

A historic Hague cemetery with old trees, funerary sculpture, and notable Dutch graves.

Oud Eik en Duinen is one of The Hague's atmospheric historic cemeteries, set among mature trees west of the city centre. It has the quiet, landscaped feel of a 19th-century burial ground, with family tombs, carved monuments, and winding paths that make it more contemplative than ornamental.

The cemetery is especially worthwhile for visitors interested in Dutch cultural history, since writers, politicians, artists, and public figures are buried here. It is a low-key stop rather than a marquee attraction, but it adds a different register to The Hague's museums, palaces, and seaside districts.
