Lion's Mound

The Lion's Mound is a 40-metre artificial hill on the Waterloo battlefield, south of the town in Braine-l'Alleud, completed in 1826 for King William I of the Netherlands where his son, the Prince of Orange, was wounded on 18 June 1815. 226 steps lead to the lion statue; it shares one ticket with the Memorial 1815 sites.
