Genappe

Genappe combines a rural Brabant character with a pivotal Napoleonic legacy in a way that reflects its position on the upper Dyle in Walloon Brabant. The river rises within the municipality before continuing north through Belgium, while fields and compact settlements define much of the surrounding countryside. Genappe is closely tied to the Waterloo campaign: Napoleon spent the night before the Battle of Waterloo at the Farm of Le Caillou in Vieux-Genappe. The Quatre Bras crossroads, scene of a major battle on 16 June 1815, also lies in the municipality.
