A church just across the street from the Wellington Museum, topped by a large dome, dedicated in 1690, located in downtown Waterloo

Waterloo is also worthwhile for its downtown. Take a look at this church, which is right across the street from the Wellington Museum. The Royal Chapel, surmounted by a large dome, was inaugurated in 1690, in the presence of the Spanish Governor General. The latter had dedicated it to his sovereign, King Charles II of Spain, in the hope - which did not come true - that he would have male offspring. In 1817, this chapel took the name of the Battle Memorial Temple, when 27 funeral plaques were affixed to it to commemorate the allied victims of these battles.

curieux et émouvant
Avec sa position centrale et ses belles proportions, cette église mérite la visite notamment par les traces commémoratives laissées par les amis des belligérants pendant les 19 et 20e siècles.
Des plaques de marbre gravées en hommage aux régiments anglais ou français engagés dans la bataille du 18 juin 1818, tapissent les bas-côtés du sanctuaire.
Elles sont régulièrement fleuries par des visiteurs et par des associations . Curieux et émouvant.

Belle église, au joli dôme qui mérite une visite pour en découvrir également l'intérieur.

un monument incontournable de Waterloo
Situé au centre de Waterloo et à côté de l'office du tourisme cet église vaut le détour et mérite que l'on s'attarde à l'architecture extérieure
