EN: The cemetery of Ried-Brig is located north of the Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, east of the village center. The walled area is L-shaped and measures approximately 50 to 60 meters. There are about 200 graves in the grounds. In addition, located on the east side of the church, a few scattered children's graves. The gently sloping terrain is leveled, so that the eastern border is completed with an approximately four meters high wall.

The church was consecrated in 1898. I have no information about the cemetery, but I suspect that it is from the same period.

DE: Der Friedhof von Ried-Brig befindet sich im nördlich der römisch-katholischen Kirche Herz Jesu östlich des Dorfzentrums. Das ummauerte Gelände ist L-förmig und misst ungefähr 50 auf 60 Meter. Es befinden sich rund 200 Gräber auf dem Gelände. Daneben befinden sich an der Ostseite der Kirche noch einige vereinzelte Kindergräber. Das leicht ansteigende Gelände ist eingeebnet, so dass am östlichen Rand mit einer rund vier Meter hohen Mauer abgeschlossen ist.

Die Kirche wurde 1898 eingeweiht. Ich habe keine Informationen über den Friedhof, aber ich vermute, dass er auch aus dieser Zeit stammt.
Name of church or churchyard: Herz Jesu
