The panorama offers a good overview of the battle; it's very impressive. But the desire for peace today is largely lost in the shuffle.

Beautiful place with a lot of history.

View of the famous Lion of Waterloo and its accompanying mound, which will celebrate its bicentennial in 2026. They were constructed at the request of King William I Frederik, using clay soil from the surrounding area. William I, who lived from 1772 to 1843, was the first and only king of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. He commissioned many works and is also known as the merchant king and the canal king. His son, William II, was second-in-command of the British-Dutch-German forces. After his supposedly courageous actions at the Battle of Quatre-Bras, two days before Waterloo, he was also called "the hero of Waterloo." King William I commissioned the construction of the Lion of Waterloo in his honor. However, the British considered him a troublemaker, who took unnecessary risks and made many mistakes. Moreover, the one-sided and unjustified focus on the role of the impulsive William led to many Dutch heroes being ignored during the battle.
