Description

From the 17th to the 19th of June 1815, at the end of the Battle of “Quatre-Bras” Wellington set up his
headquarters at an inn in the heart of the village of Waterloo. It is here that he drew up his victory bulletin
following the Battle of the 18th of June, which he named “Waterloo”. Since then, this building houses the
Wellington Museum which includes a unique collection dedicated to each army. It presents in an educational
way the role and implication of each of the nations involved in this conflict. Opposite the Museum looms the Chapelle Royale de Waterloo, which was built in 1687. In the wake of the battle, this Royal Chapel was converted into a commemorative temple honouring Wellington and his allies. The walls of the adjacent
church are adorned with numerous funerary plaques of officers or soldiers killed in combat.
