Points of interest
Microbrewery of Mont-St-Jean
Having heard that Waterloo beer restored energy and valour in those who drank it, the Duke of Wellington allowed his men to drink it to boost their strength and courage on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo. With the English victory on 18 June 1815, the legend of Waterloo was born. Waterloo today is among John Martin’s prestigious Finest Beer Selection, along with the likes of Guinness, Gordon and Timmermans. A micro-brewery has been opened at Mont-Saint-Jean Farm, which was where the Duke of Wellington set up the English hospital during the battle in 1815.
Monument des Hanovriens
This monument pays tribute to 42 Anglo-German officers who died on the battlefields of Waterloo.
Lion's Mound
The Lion's Mound gives a unique view of the battlefield after a memorable climb of 226 steps. This 40m tumulus was erected on the spot where it is thought that the Prince of Orange was wounded before he became the King of the Netherlands. The Mound symbolizes the victory of the allied monarchies.
La Ferme du Hameau du Roy
This bakery has been lovingly baking good bread in its traditional wood-fired oven for two generations. Its bread, baguettes, currant breads, tarts, Viennese pastries, savoury tarts, cakes and 'pain surprise' will delight your taste buds.
