The Dutch Cemetery

Timings : Always closed
Situated : Dutch Cemetery Road, Fort Kochi



    
    The tomb stones here are the most authentic record of the hundreds of Europeans who left their homeland on a mission to expand their colonial empires and changed the course of history of this land. The cemetery was consecrated in 1724 and is today managed by the Church of South India.

        The cemetery had been closed for a long time and it's still closed. Visitors have been viewing the tombs from outside the gate of the cemetery.
