Origin and history
The Portuguese cemetery of Richebourg is a historical monument located in the department of Pas-de-Calais, in the Hauts-de-France region. It is located precisely along departmental road No. 947, on cadastral plot AH4. This place, inscribed in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 28 March 2017, constitutes a memorial space marked by its history and its link with the Portuguese community.
The location of the cemetery, although documented (413 Rue du Bois, Richebourg), suffers from geographical accuracy considered very poor according to available sources. This monument, fully protected, is part of a broader historical context, that of the Hauts-de-France, a region marked by cultural exchanges and foreign presences, especially during the 20th century world conflicts. Military or community cemeteries often play a collective memory role, reflecting tragic episodes or significant migrations.
No further information is provided on the exact origin of this cemetery, its founders, or the specific events that led to its creation. The sources are limited to its administrative location and its recent protection status, without details of the individuals who rely on it or the circumstances of its establishment.
