Together a war-memorial and a cemetery, these constructions, located at the city’s North entrance, were erected in 1944-1945, thanks to donations and a public subscription. Becoming a national necropolis in 1984, it gathers 78 graves and cenotaphs dedicated to resistant young men murdered by the Nazis in repression against the resistance in Sologne :
- 41 students from Paris, members of the "Liberté" and “Essor" resistant groups shot in the farm Le By (in La Ferté-Saint-Aubin) and at the spot CERFBOIS (in Marcilly-en-Villette), on June 10th1944.
- resistance fighters shot in the CHEVAU woods in La Ferté-Saint-Aubin and in Lignyle-Ribault in autumn 1944.
- resistant deported who died in Nazis deportation camps.

Ever since 1944, every year a moving ceremony takes place in presence of the prefect, representatives of the groups "Liberté" and "Essor", resistant members of the Maquis in Sologne, official bodies and of a faithful audience. They celebrate the memory of these 78 fighters for freedom.
Then the ceremony is followed by an emotional pilgrimage to the very spots of the exécutions.
