Visitor information

A piece of Canada on the Holterberg
The military cemetery “Canadian Cemetery Holten” on the Holterberg makes up an impressive reminder of the second World War. In the spring of 1945, after five years of oppression, ( mostly) Canadian troups liberated the eastern and northern parts of the Netherlands.  Courtesy  of the Dutch government, terrains were made available to give the fallen soldiers their final resting place.

In the adjoining information center we keep the memory of the fallen servicemen alive through personal stories, anecdotes and photos. Watch an impression of the liberation of the northern and eastern parts of the Netherlands, find background information about the cemetery and listen to impressive stories about the fallen liberators. At the information tables you can obtain further information about the liberation and our liberators.
