Template:Infobox cemetery Dutch Cemetery is a heritage Christian cemetery at Kalikapur, Cossimbazar in the Berhampore CD block in the Berhampore subdivision of Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India.
History[edit | edit source]
In its hey days Murshidabad was an active trading post that not only attracted the British but also the Dutch and the Armenians, all of whom settled here in different times.[1] The Dutch Cemetery has “47 tombs and obelisks etc. and the oldest being that of Daniel Van der Muyl who died in 1721 AD.”[2][3] The Babulbona Residency Cemetery, as also the British and Dutch cemeteries in neighbouring Cossimbazar are not really in ship shape, although they are state protected monuments.[1]
According to the Archaeological Survey of India, as mentioned in the List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal the Dutch Cemetery is an ASI Listed Monument.[4]
