Znojmo (German: Znaim) is a city in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, near the border with Austria.
Znojmo is only a few tens of kilometers from the place of the Battle of Austerlitz.
The Battle of Austerlitz (Czech: Slavkov), also known as the Battle of the Three Emperors, was one of Napoleon's greatest victories, where the French Empire effectively crushed the Third Coalition. On 2 December 1805 a French army, commanded by Emperor Napoleon I, decisively defeated a Russo-Austrian army, commanded by Tsar Alexander I and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, after nearly nine hours of difficult fighting. The battle took place near Austerlitz (Slavkov u Brna) about 10 km south-east of Brno in Moravia, at that time in the Austrian Empire (present day Czech Republic).
Memorial plaque reminds staying of Napoleon Bonaparte in Znojmo before the Battle of Austerlitz.
