This square commemorates the heavy fighting on December 18, 1944, which involved the bridge and control of Stavelot. Fierce Allied resistance contributed to delaying the German advance. Ultimately, the Allies managed to hold the bridge and repel the German attacks.

A memorial plaque commemorates the fact that from December 18, 1944, to January 13, 1945, the Nazi hordes were held back by soldiers of the First American Army.
The plaque was donated by the City of Brussels in memory of the martyred city of Stavelot.

WWII memorial to the 131 fighters who were shot here by the hordes of Von Rundstedt. Each strategic village in the area has its own Ardennes Offensive story with the associated memorials and monuments.
