In the garden of the Caillou Museum stands this little building.  It is an ossuary that was erected in 1912.

It contains the bones of fighters of the battle of 1815. These bones were found during different excavations or works.

The inscription on the front of the ossuary reads " PRO IMPERATOR SAEPE, PRO PATRIA SEMPER".
( Often for the emperor, always for the fatherland".
