Lion’s Mound (Butte du Lion) Tours and Tickets

The Butte du Lion, or Lion’s Mound, was built in 1820 to commemorate the exact place where Prince William II of the Netherlands was injured in the battle of Waterloo. Ordered by his father, King William I, the mound used battlefield soil to create a pyramid-like hill where an imposing lion sculpture now sits to represent courage.
