Papelotte Farm. The building was built between 1857 and 1858, and is currently used as an equestrian school
Papelotte Farm (French: Ferme de la Papelotte) is located on the Waterloo battlefield and formed part of the defence system of the Duke of Wellington on 18 June 1815.
The defenders were soldiers from the Duchy of Nassau, but the French managed to capture it and hold it for short while.[1] It was located to the north-east of the battlefield on Wellington's left (Napoleon's right).
