Guilhou family Protestant cemetery

Curiosity · Mieres, Caudal, Asturias

Image of Mieres, not of the place itself.

A burial ground built between 1860 and 1880 by the French industrialist Numa Guilhou, founder of the Fábrica de Mieres, to bury the foreign families who came with industrialisation. It is the only Calvinist Protestant cemetery in Asturias and Guilhou himself lies there.
