/ 173472422695696 • Slavkov u Brna (in German: Austerlitz), is a country town east of Brno in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. Population: 5,900. The town is widely known for giving its name to the Battle of Austerlitz which actually took place some kilometers to the west of the town. • At the beginning of the 13th century, the Teutonic Order built a monastery stronghold whose remains can still be seen today in the vaults of the Austerlitz Palace. The first written testimony about the place date from 1237. The Czech name Slavkov is first documented in 1361, the German name Austerlitz in 1633 and is said to be a truncation of the Czech Novosedlice (Novosedlicz, Nausedlicz), which means new settlement , although this cannot be clarified definitively. After the dissolution of the Order, the town became the property of a number of noble owners until, in 1509, the local gentry family of Kaunitz assumed control for more than 400 years. • In this film, one can see the Baroque Slavkov Castle which has 115 rooms and an impressive garden in the French style. The Palace was designed by Italian architect Domenico Martinelli. In its salon, an armistice was signed between Austria and France after the battle of Austerlitz on 2 December, 1805. • My channel on you tube : / alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland.
