Butte Baltia, Historical monument in Waimes, Belgium.
The Butte Baltia stands at Signal de Botrange with a circular stone base of 14 meters in diameter and rises through a stone staircase to a platform.
Lieutenant General Baron Baltia commissioned this monument in 1923 to mark Belgium's highest point following territorial changes after the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
The monument displays inscriptions about King Albert of Belgium and represents the integration of Eastern Cantons into Belgian territory after World War I.
Located at coordinates 50.5017, 6.0926, visitors can climb the stairs to reach the platform at 700 meters altitude for geographical orientation.
Two classified boundary markers near the base, the Tranchot stone from 1801 and T.P. stone from 1889, document different historical periods of territorial control.
