Frischermont

[Captain Sibourne]

I am attempting to piece together the evidence about the Chateau of Frischermont at Waterloo. Frischermont was at the east end of the battlefield, initially defended by the 28th Orange-Nassau regiment; it then fell to the French and was later taken by the Prussians.

Because it is not on the Siborne model and was destroyed in the 60s, the evidence is circumstantial. Any advice additional to what I have below would be massively appreciated.





This image shows the area after the demolition of the chateau. All that remains is the wall of the walled garden and a round well just to its right:

























As said earlier, any further leads or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I'm looking forward to see this come to live.

Interesting detective work.

Ian’s contribution ( from another forum) is hopefully informative.

He helped me enormously.

Looking forward to your father’s interpretation.

Best wishes,

Chris

Thanks Chris, I think we are basically comfortable with the plan shown above but with a slight taper towards the north, so it has less of an exact square shape.
