Chateau d'Hougoumont is a recreation of a Belgian farm that was originally built by the Knights of Malta between 1358 and 1474 of sandstone and red brick. It became pivotal in the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. Over the course of the battle, the French forces committed an estimated 14,000 troops and the English and their allies committed an estimated 12,000 troops to the battle around the farm buildings. The farm is now in ruins but it is undergoing some restoration so it can be the site of the 200th commemoration of the Battle of Waterloo in June of 2015.
We have attempted to build an accurate recreation of the way the Chateau and it's surround buildings looked when the battle began. The building interiors are not recreations as there are no existing plans of the interiors. Room size was designed for ease of avatar camera view.
The farmers house is a single story building with a light stucco interior and exterior and granite door and window frames on a 10m x 16m base. There are two rooms separated by a wall with a door. One room has a loft with a ladder and there is a fireplace. There are exterior doorways on both sides and an opening in the back wall for attachment to the chateau. The back wall can be edited to close that opening.
Everything is modify and copy, but no transfer.
