Monument to the French, erected as a sign of national recognition by Belgium for the soldiers of Marshal Gérard who fell before the walls of the citadel of Antwerp in 1832.
The siege of the citadel of Antwerp took place from 15 November to 23 December 1832, after the Ten Days' Campaign. The siege pitted the Dutch troops occupying Antwerp against the Army of the North, an expeditionary force sent by France during the Belgian Revolution and commanded by Marshal Gérard.
