The enclosed area of the castle fortifications is one acre, contained within an oval wall of about 200 by 150 feet. It contains residences for the count, his servants and guards, as well as dungeons. The central three story "donjon" is the oldest of its kind in western Europe.66 The rooms measure 33' by 90', and it has 7' thick walls.

Napoleon I was defeated by the Duke of Wellington. Immortalised by Victor Hugo in "morne plaine” as well as by ABBA in their 1974 hit, the site is now a very popular tourist attraction. There is plenty of battle paraphernalia to visit including the Lion of Waterloo victory monument (Butte du Lion), a huge man-made hill topped by a 28-ton lion. For those energetic enough to climb the more than 200 steps, the lion provides a commanding view of the site. Visit the battlefield site, the H.Q. of Wellington and Napoleon, the Column of Victor Hugo and the Wellington Museum for an audio-visual reconstruction of the battle.

Extractions: In any language this is a palace! A magnificent house in large grounds it has been the home of the Princes de Ligne since the 14th century, and the castle and gardens were already famous in the 17th century. The resent castle was built by Claire Marie of Nassau, Princess of Ligne, assisted by her son Henry, built the castle in 1680.Although inspired by French architecture the plan still shows some medieval influences with the four towers reminding one of earlier fortresses. The family has been prominent in Europe for hundreds of years and has had many distinguished members throughout these centuries. There was a disastrous fire on 14th December 1900 which destroyed most of the central building but heroic efforts by members of the family and the local villagers saved most of the art collection. The story of the family is told in the superb collection of paintings, sculpture and memorabilia which are displayed throughout the house and it needs at least an hour to do justice to the collection. After visiting the house it is essential to explore the gardens. Immediately outside the house is a magnificent lake which stretches away into the distance. The grounds are so extensive that there is a small 'train' which takes visitors through them. If you choose to walk through them you pass from one garden to another through high hedges many of these gardens have small ponds within them. It almost gives one an Alice in Wonderland feeling as you explore.
