Frischermont Farm

Frischermont is possibly the least known building at Waterloo. I've been piecing together the limited evidence and my father has been constructing the model using the that evidence.

This is a useful diagram of the farm:

Excellent research on your blog into this long gone chateaux.

Your father’s building skills have always been excellent and this will be a delightful addition to the project.

Best wishes,

Chris

This is the final farm to complete at Waterloo, but other buildings remain to be made, not least the village of Smohain. Hope you enjoy the pics!
