    This monument, also called the 'Needle', was erected in 1815 by Annebetje van Tuyll van Serooskerken, Countess of Athlone, after the victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. She initially lived at Amerongen Castle, but had to move to England with her family when the French troops invaded.
