Musée Wellington

Discover the inn where the Duke of Wellington set up his headquarters on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo.

This former residence, dating back to 1705, was chosen as the location for various headquarters. It was here that the Duke of Wellington established his command on 17 June 1815, in preparation for his confrontation with Napoleon. It was within these walls that he wrote his victory report, immortalising the name ‘Waterloo’ for the famous battle.

Through authentic memorabilia, weapons and engravings, the museum's various rooms retrace the events of this momentous period and perpetuate the memory of the nations and combatants involved in this historic conflict.

Practical information :
  • The Wellington Museum has a lift. It is now possible to move freely through part of the museum. However, as the building is over 300 years old, some rooms are not yet accessible. An interactive terminal and an audio guide provide access to the entire museum.

  • In order to enable visitors with specific needs to enjoy their visit to the full, it is advisable to contact the museum in advance so that the team can explain all the visiting arrangements and provide appropriate access. Guide dogs are also allowed in the museum.

  • The building is complex. A map of the premises is available on the audio guide or on your own smartphone via a QR code.
