Museum with documents, prints, weapons and relics, with self-guided tour, located in the heart of Waterloo
The Duke of Wellington's headquarters were housed in an old 1705 Brabant inn, a former coaching inn in the heart of Waterloo. The Duke stayed there on June 17 and 18, 1815. On the evening of the battle, he wrote his victory communiqué, which appeared in the Times of London. The course of the confrontations between the nations involved is admirably illustrated by realistic mannequins, engravings and meticulous models. To be discovered with a multilingual audioguide for adults and children, with musical commentary.

Owner's Message
WELCOME TO THE WELLINGTON MUSEUM
This old building dating from 1705 was chosen to house various headquarters. It was here that the Duke of Wellington established his headquarters on June 17, 1815, before facing Napoleon. It was here that he wrote his victory report, giving the famous battle its name of "Waterloo".
Through authentic memorabilia, weapons and engravings, the museum's various rooms retrace the events of the period and perpetuate the memory of the nations and combatants who took part in the confrontation.
The museum also features a temporary exhibition room, and regularly organizes special events.
