The Obelisk

The Obelisk

The obelisk was built by an architect in 1798 and is the oldest building in the Lednice-Valtice area. It was built to make peace between France and Austria in Campo Formio. The obelisk is 23 meters high.

The obelisk is called Facka by the locals. You will even find U Facky on the maps. At this point, the prince was to be slapped by the princess, who learned during the hunt that her dear wife had lost the whole village in cards at night. It is also possible that the prince had a memorial built here mainly to forget about the slap in the face and the peace treaty was just an excuse for him. However, this was recalculated.
