Loenen is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Apeldoorn, about 10 km southeast of that city.
Loenen was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Apeldoorn.[3]
Near the village of Loenen is the National Cemetery of Honours (Nationaal Ereveld Loenen), In 1948, it was decided to create a national cemetery of honours for the resistance fighters, political prisoners, and soldiers who died during World War II and were buried outside of the Netherlands.[4] There are close to 4,000 people buried at the cemetery[4]
In the centre is a chapel dedicated to the Engelandvaarders, the men and women who attempted to escape from the Netherlands to England, and a funerary urn containing earth from the concentration camps Majdanek, Sobibor and Treblinka. In the back is the list of the 130,000 people whose remains have not been located.[5]
