Abstract

In the original language

The Slavkov (Austerlitz) battlefield is protected as an associative memorial landscape, whose values are represented by buildings, places, and spatial relationships associated with the war conflict from the time of the Napoleonic Wars – the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805. The territory of the battlefield defined by the boundaries of the site of memory is still an object of commemoration and presentation in visual culture. The territory is characterized by its landscape relief, which played an important role in the “Battle of the Three Emperors,” and at the same time, considering its historical and contemporary attributes, it has the character of a composed cultural landscape. What role do boundaries play in its definition? The subject of the analysis will be the boundaries of the local landscape conservation zone, the depiction of the battlefield in contemporary iconographic sources, and the significance of this site of memory in space and time, which is the reason for its legal protection.
