About Mons

Mons (Bergen in Dutch) is the capital of the Hainaut province and one of Belgium's most historically significant and most rewarding smaller cities — a hilltop city above the Borinage coalfield region whose remarkable Collegiate Church of Saint Waudru (a masterpiece of Brabantine Gothic, housing the extraordinary Car d'Or processional chariot and the remarkable treasury of sacred art), the Grand Place with its 15th-century Gothic Town Hall, and the UNESCO-listed belfry above the city together create one of the finest historic city centres in Wallonia. Mons was European Capital of Culture in 2015, which catalysed the BAM (Beaux-Arts Mons) museum complex and a major cultural renewal of the city.

Mons's most internationally significant heritage site is the Mons Memorial Museum and the associated WWI sites of the surrounding region — Mons was the site of the Battle of Mons (23 August 1914), the first engagement between British and German forces in WWI, where the British Expeditionary Force fought its famous rearguard action. The city was also the site of the last significant battle of WWI on 11 November 1918, making it the only city in the world to hold this dual distinction. The surrounding Mons area contains important WWI cemeteries and memorials. Van Gogh lived in the Borinage mining region around Mons in 1879–1880, working as a lay preacher among the miners — his house in Cuesmes (Maison de Van Gogh) is now a museum.

Important Transfer Information

First and Last Battle of WWI: Mons is uniquely the site of both the first British engagement of WWI (Battle of Mons, 23 August 1914) and one of the last significant actions on 11 November 1918 — the only city in the world to hold this distinction. The Mons Memorial Museum documents the full military history of the region. The annual 'Last Post' ceremony at the Mons Sainte-Symphorien cemetery — where British and German soldiers are buried side by side — is one of the most moving WWI commemoration events in Belgium.

Van Gogh in the Borinage: Vincent van Gogh lived and worked as a lay preacher among the coal miners of the Borinage region around Mons in 1879–1880 — one of the most formative and most impoverished periods of his life, which he documented in letters to his brother Theo. The Maison de Van Gogh in Cuesmes preserves the house where he lodged and contains an exhibition on his Borinage years. The surrounding mining landscape — now largely reclaimed as green hills — still carries the emotional weight of the extreme poverty he witnessed.
