After the battle of Austerlitz (
visit link) met on Wednesday 4 December 1805 representatives of the warring parties: Napoleon Bonaparte and Austrian Franz I. It was a time when this area did not stand in John's Courtyard. There has only been Burnt Mill.
After the Austrian capitulation, offered to the French emperor by the Duke of Liechtenstein, intense peace negotiations began. First, it was necessary to negotiate an armistice and that is why, two days after the battle, on Wednesday, December 4, Napoleon and the Austrian Emperor Francis met. The meeting place was Spaleny mlyn (Burnt Mill), near Nasedlovice, on the road from Austerlitz to Hodonin. The two emperors met under an old linden tree and spent approximately an hour in confidential conversation, during which they decided the basic conditions for peace. Privy to this conversation, for the Austrians was the Duke of Liechtenstein and for the French was Marshal Berthier, who two days later, in the great hall of the chateau at Austerlitz, signed the Franco-Austrian armistice. This armistice delimited the demarcation line which would divide the French and Austrian armies in Moravia and other lands of the monarchy. The Russians, who did not participate in the negotiations, were ordered to clear out within 15 days, from the Austrian states, especially from Moravia and Hungary and within one month from Halic. The conditions for peace would be negotiated later and in a different place.
In May 1900 the appointment as a permanent reminder installed in the front panel of the Court of Genoa Swedish syenite. In 2002, at the entrance to the area information boards installed. Includes maps of the area of ??Genoa Court, where Napoleon and Francis I signed a truce and a plan for the battlefield between Brno and Austerlitz. In late 2003 and early 2004, the site underwent modifications. In the center of the obelisk was placed around the four lime trees planted, grown tree species that stands at the entrance to campus.
