Monument to Karel Kopal in Znojmo, Military memorial in Znojmo, Czech Republic

The neoclassical obelisk features bronze decorations, including the statue of Victoria and military attributes designed by sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn.

The monument, inaugurated on October 16, 1853, honors Colonel Karel Kopal of the 10th Battalion of Field Rangers who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

The structure underwent multiple transformations, reflecting changing political periods from Austrian Empire through Czechoslovakia to modern Czech Republic.

Located in central Znojmo, the monument includes four bronze plaques with Czech translations of memorial inscriptions set into the surrounding pavement.

In 2012, bronze elements representing field ranger uniforms and equipment were restored to the monument while original German inscriptions remain in museum storage.
