The Belgenmonument is a monument on the Amersfoortse Berg in Amersfoort. Belgian soldiers built it to commemorate the internment in the Netherlands during the First World War as a job creation and learning project. It is the largest monument in the Netherlands in size. The Belgenmonument is situated in Bergkwartier Amersfoort. Bergkwartier is administratively divided into two districts De Berg-zuid and De Berg-noord. The district is located on the Amersfoortse Berg at about 44 meters above NAP. The neighborhood is characterized by the large 1930s homes and the many green spaces. It is therefore regarded by many as a residential area.
