What is "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 18 June 1815.

Hougoumont, which had become dilapidated, was fully restored in time for the 200 anniversary of the battle and opened to the public on 18 June 2015.

Hougoumont was a fortified farm held by Wellington's army in the Battle of Waterloo. It may also refer to:

• Hougoumont (ship), a convict ship;
• Hougomont (barque), a barque built in 1897
