===Lion's Mound=== {{main article|Lion's Mound}} [[File:0 Braine-l'Alleud 051012 (1).JPG|thumb|The immense ''{{lang|fr|Butte du Lion}}'' ("[[Lion's Mound]]") overlooking the [[Battle of Waterloo|battlefield of Waterloo]]]] The [[Lion's Mound]] is a monument to the casualties of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, located on the spot where a musket ball hit the shoulder of [[William II of the Netherlands]] (the Prince of Orange) and knocked him from his horse during the battle. A statue of a lion, looking towards [[France]], standing upon a stone-block pedestal surmounts the hill. Visitors can climb the 226 steps to the top of the hill for a panoramic vista of the battlefield.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rates |website=Waterloo 1815 | url=http://www.waterloo1815.be/index.php?page=rates |ref={{sfnref|Waterloo 1815}} |access-date=14 January 2017}}</ref> Other attractions nearby related to the battle are the [[Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo|Battle Panorama Mural]], [[Wellington Museum, Waterloo|Wellington Museum]], and the [[Roman Catholic]] [[Church of Saint Joseph, Waterloo|Church of St. Joseph]], where Wellington is said to have prayed before going into battle and where British and Dutch plaques commemorating the fallen are now to be seen.
