Summary

[edit]
Description
English: After the Victory of Waterloo on 18 June 1815, the Allied Forces entered France, Field-marshal Gneisenau leading the avant-garde. For his part, the Duke of Wellington spent the night of the 20th June at Nivelles, coming from Brussels :

"Le 20 juin le duc de Wellington était à Nivelles, où il logea dans un hôtel, qui est actuellement le mont de piété. Il y resta jusqu'au lendemain. Le 21, il passa la frontière et le 22, nous le trouvons à Malplaquet, lieu célèbre dans l'histoire." (Galesloot, 1884)

Translation On June 20, the Duke of Wellington was at Nivelles, where he lodged in a hotel, which is currently the mount of piety. He stayed there until the next day. On the 21st, he crossed the border and on the 22nd, we find him at Malplaquet, a place famous in history.

Today, the building houses the Museum of Archeology (Musée communal).
