Le Quesnoy Ramparts
Highlight • Other
The park was designed with a concept in which part of the city walls of Le Quesnoy is projected horizontally onto a lawn. The walls, originally 12 meters high, are now terraces that offer a peaceful place for walks and reflection. The use of brick and natural materials, such as engraved stones, emphasizes the historical and cultural ties between the regions.

The monument was erected to commemorate the New Zealand Rifle Brigade, which liberated Le Quesnoy from German occupation on 4 November 1918. The monument was officially inaugurated in 1923 by the French military leader Maréchal Joffre. It is a symbol of the close bond between Le Quesnoy and New Zealand, and is regularly visited by New Zealand military delegations and families of the soldiers.
The Mémorial des Néo-Zélandais consists of a bas-relief depicting the liberation of the town by the New Zealand soldiers. It is located in the fortifications of Le Quesnoy, emphasising the historical and strategic significance of the liberation.
