Category: battle memorial and museum

The Cairn of Peace (Mohyla míru) near the village of Prace is an Art Nouveau memorial and museum commemorating the Battle of the Three Emperors at Slavkov (Austerlitz) in 1805, one of Napoleon's most significant victories. The multimedia exhibition maps the course of the battle and is well suited to school history programs.

Why visit this place?

• The Cairn of Peace is the first peace memorial in Europe; it was built between 1910 and 1912 but opened only in 1923 because of the First World War.
• Inside is a chapel 10 x 10 metres with acoustics that carry a whisper from one corner to the opposite one at the same volume; an ossuary lies beneath the floor.
• Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 2,553 visitors on Google Maps.
• The exhibition is interactive — it expects you to touch the exhibits and try them out.
• Allow roughly an hour and a quarter; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 79 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
