Památník Jana Žižky z Trocnova

Památník Jana Žižky z Trocnova, Historical museum in Trocnov, Czech Republic.

The Jan Žižka Memorial is an 11.4-hectare site near the hamlet of Trocnov, with forests and meadows around the remains of the Mikeš and Žižka farmsteads. In the western meadow stands a granite statue of the commander on a six-metre four-sided pyramid base, made of Liberec granite in 1956–1960 by sculptor Josef Malejovský. The former manor house serves as a museum.

The settlement of Trocznow, two farmsteads, arose probably in the 14th century; Jan Žižka was born here in 1359 or 1360 to Řehoř and Johana Žižka and baptised in Střížov. In 1682 the provost Conrad Fischer had the Žižka oak felled and a chapel built on its spot; a memorial stone followed in 1908. Excavations led by Antonín Hejna in 1956 uncovered the foundations of Žižka's farm, and between 1957 and 1960 the site was turned into a Hussite museum.

The memorial connects to the Hussite movement through exhibitions and informational displays that help visitors understand the religious struggles of medieval times. Today, people can learn how these conflicts shaped Czech identity and traditions.

The 11.4-hectare grounds lie 2 km south of Trocnov, reached by a turn-off from the road to Ostrolovský Újezd. The museum occupies the former farmstead, and the monument stands on a meadow in the western part. The Archeoskanzen Trocnov, a model of a high medieval village, was completed in 2024.

The monument's granite statue stands on a six-metre truncated pyramid plinth; German sources give the whole work as twelve metres. The sculptor was Josef Malejovský, and the architectural design came from Adolf Benš. The stone is Liberec granite.
