Description

Introduction

GRAVE VAULT, established for P. v.d. Hoog in 1903, is designed in Neoclassical style. The grave is located on the east side of the oldest, 19th-century part of the tree-planted General Cemetery on the Molenweg, south of the grave vault (complex component), situated in the flat polder landscape.

Description

Grave vault consists of a tomb of plastered brick under a semicircular cover plate with roof felt and a monumental entrance with aedicula. The arched iron door is surrounded by an architrave with dentil moulding and pediment.

Valuation

The grave vault is of general importance due to its cultural and architectural-historical value as a characteristic example of a grave vault in Neoclassical style from around 1900. It is also a recognizable example from the development that funerary culture underwent at that time. The grave vault is intact in its principal form, use of materials and detailing. The grave vault, located on the oldest part of the general cemetery, has ensemble value through the spatial and functional coherence with the various complex components.
