At the village of Ysselsteyn there is a 30 hectare military cemetery for more than 30000 German soldiers killed during World War II. A part of it was buried elsewhere, but later buried in Ysselsteyn so that it is now the only German military cemetery in the Netherlands. In addition, there are 85 diggers of German soldiers from the First World War. These soldiers were killed in Belgium or France (the Netherlands was neutral during the First World War), after which they arrived in the Netherlands via the Meuse.
