Frischermont Castle

Frischermont Castle or Frichermont Castle (French: Châteaux Frischermont) in the Belgian municipality of Lasne is now a ruin, but at the start of the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815 it was not. It belonged to Monsieur Beaulieu, and it was garrisoned by troops of the 28th Regiment, Orange-Nassau (Regiment Oranje-Nassau No. 28) under the command of Prince Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar. It was here at 10:30 that a French patrol drove back Dutch pickets the first fighting of the day took place.
