History
History
Landen is the birthplace of Pippin of Landen, and his daughter, Saint Gertrude, is the city's patron Saint. On the territory of the municipality two great battles were fought. The first was fought in 1693, during the Nine Years' War between the Anglo-Allied army under William III of England and the French under the Duke of Luxembourg, ending in a French victory. The second Battle of Neerwinden took place during the French Revolutionary Wars between the Austrians under Prince Josias of Coburg and the French under General Dumouriez and ended in an Austrian victory (these battles are commonly referred to as the Battles of Neerwinden). Within the municipal boundaries, one can find multiple Roman tombs. • Illustration — Former railway station of Racour • Illustration — War memorial
