War sights in Liège

  1. A

    Montagne de Bueren

    Don sturdy shoes and climb up the steep steps of Montagne de Bueren: you can rest up top with the superb panoramic view over Liège. In 1468, Franchimontese soldiers, under the patriot Bueren, climbed it to fight with Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, who'd occupied the city. The story has no happy ending: they failed, died, and Liège was plundered.
