Situated in the Val du Pâtre, Soultzmatt military cemetery is the largest Romanian necropolis in France. This emblematic Romanian heritage site contains the remains of 678 soldiers who died in captivity between 1914 and 1918, most of them due to ill-treatment, malnutrition and exhaustion. In 1916-17, these prisoners of the German army were used to build roads and shelters in various locations. In 1920, the village of Soultzmatt, spared by the war, donated the land needed to bring together these soldiers, dispersed around more than thirty-five Alsatian towns and villages, to Romania. In 1927, King Ferdinand and Queen Mary of Romania attended the inauguration of the cemetery, marking the traditional friendship between France and Romania.
