Interesting facts about this location
Hougoumont
Château d'Hougoumont (originally Goumont) is a large farmhouse situated at the bottom of an escarpment near the Nivelles road in Braine-l'Alleud, near Waterloo, Belgium. The escarpment is where British and other allied forces faced Napoleon's Army at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. The name "Hougoumont" is derived from "Gomme Mont" which means "Gum hill". It was built on a little hill with pine trees around it, from which pine gum was collected to make turpentine.

Nivelles-Baulers
Nivelles-Baulers was a 2.314 miles race track near Brussels, Belgium locally referred to as Nivelles in French and Nijvel in Dutch. Built in 1971, the circuit hosted two rounds of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix in 1972 and 1974 during the time when the race was supposed to alternate between Walloon and Flemish circuits. Designed to be a safe alternative to Spa, Nivelles was perhaps too safe.
