Det var i Waterloo, at det napoleonske epope var ved at slutte. Den 18. juni 1815 forsøgte kejser Napoleon at overvinde den preussiske og anglo-nederlandske alliance. Men hans forsøg viste sig at være frugtesløse. Hans nederlag ville sammen med Wienerkongressen være ansvarligt for omtegningen af Europas kort. For at mindes denne vigtige bedrift besluttede den nederlandske regering, som derefter var herre over territoriet, der nu er Belgien, at bygge en kunstig bakke på 43 meter. På toppen skulle en løve prale, der udfordrende ville se i retning af Frankrig. Wellingtonmuseet i kroen, der modtog de allieredes stab, holder mindet om dette vigtige slag i live.
