The Watou church and cemetery is located next to Watouplein, the square in the center of the village. During World War 1, called the Great War in Belgium, Watou and its surroundings was a quiet resting area behind the lines. No armed conflicts took place here, so the church only saw a few war funerals between April 1915 (the second battle of Ypres) and November 1918 (when the war ended).
