Hougoumont Farm

Hougoumont Farm: Napoleon's Waterloo Defeat & History Ruins

4.5 (11)

Skip the main museum if you want to see where the real fighting happened. These bullet-riddled walls tell the actual story of Waterloo better than any pamphlet. Spend an hour walking the perimeter to spot original masonry damaged by 1815 cannonballs. Visit in the shoulder season to avoid school field trips clogging the courtyard. It is eerie, silent, and feels exactly like the battlefield should. Wear decent boots—it gets muddy quickly.

Address: Chemin du Goumont 1, Braine-l'Alleud, Wallonia, 1420
