9 The cemetery of Marville, Meuse, France

The cemetary of Marville is very remarkable, not only because of its medieval tombstones, but also because of its well preserved ossuary.

The oldest graves date from 1345, but the site is much older. The little church on the cemetery was built in the 12th century, replacing an older sanctuary.

Since the cemetery is located on top of a hill, it could well have been a Celtic religious place.
