L’Hôpital des Anglais - Ferme de Mont-Saint-Jean (Farm)

On the 17th of June 1815, the day before the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington at the head of
the British and Allied Forces set up his field hospital at this farm. Over 6,000 soldiers were cared for here and many of them owe their salvation to the proximity of the place to the battlefield. Today, renovated with due regard to history, it is home to a museum which pays tribute to the surgical function of the place. It explains the history of field hospitals and their role during wars. The Ferme de Mont-Saint-Jean also houses a microbrewery, which produces the famous ‘Waterloo’ beer, a micro distillery and a shop selling many different products such as beers, gins and whiskies.
