Best Hikes to View of the Lion's Mound at Waterloo

Tips

  • Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo (French: Panorama de la Bataille de Waterloo) is a cylindrical painting 12 meters high and 110 meters long. The painting, created in 1915, shows the Battle of Waterloo. It was painted by Louis-Jules Dumoulin.

    The panorama is located near the Lion of Waterloo in Braine-l'Alleud. Since 2015, the panorama has been part of the Mémorial 1815 museum.
    The painting is located in a building that can be characterized as a roundabout in terms of architectural style. The raised center of the rotunda and the perspective talent of Louis DuMoulin gives the viewer the feeling that he is looking out at scenes set during the Battle of Waterloo. In addition to the visual aspect, sound effects are played to give the viewer the most realistic experience possible of the battle between the infantry and the cavalry.
    In July 2008, the International Panorama Council had the panorama added to Belgium's preliminary proposal for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  • Situated at the foot of the famous Lions Mound this building hosts a stunning panorama of the Battle of Waterloo. Our Willem (above) has posted a very comprehensive entry so I need not say any more. Thank you Willem 😁.
