Château Blanc Wervicq-Sud

The castle of the Dalle-Dumont family, le Château Blanc, was occupied by the Germans from August 1914 to October 1918 as a German field hospital 'Feldlazarett Nr. 9.
This is where the wounded soldiers of the Heuvelland front between Ypres and the French-Belgian border are cared for. Soldiers who die of their wounds are buried in the park of the castle. The remains were moved by the French government in 1921 to the German war cemetery on the Chemin du Grand Perne.
