Monument prussien, Gothic Revival monument in Lasne, Belgium.

The Monument prussien features a blue stone pedestal supporting a Gothic Revival spire crowned with an iron cross and golden fleurons at its pinnacles.

Built in 1818, this monument honors the Prussian troops who participated in the Battle of Waterloo under Marshal Blücher's command in 1815.

The iron cross at the top bears the initials FW of King Frederick William III of Prussia, oak leaves, and the year 1813 engraved in gold.

Located at coordinates 50.6637495, 4.4281368, the monument stands 400 meters north of Saint Catherine Church in Plancenoit village.

French soldiers damaged the cross in 1832, but Marshal Gérard, who fought against Prussians at Wavre, ordered its restoration and protection with iron railings.
