Kobylisy Shooting Range, Memorial site in Kobylisy district, Prague, Czech Republic
Kobylisy Shooting Range is a rectangular memorial ground featuring bronze sculptures, name plaques, and a metal cross within earthwork walls. The site sits among residential buildings and creates a solemn space for remembrance.
The area started as an Austro-Hungarian military shooting range before German occupiers used it as an execution site. The mass killings in 1942 marked a turning point, leading to its recognition as a national cultural monument in 1978.
The site bears the name of its location and displays bronze sculptures alongside plaques with victims' names, allowing visitors to connect with this chapter of history. The arrangement invites people to pause and reflect on what happened here.
The memorial is within easy walking distance of Kobylisy and Ládví metro stations in Prague's 8th district. The grounds are open year-round and suited for quiet, contemplative visits.
The sculptures were created by renowned sculptor Miloš Žet, whose works give the site a strong artistic quality beyond simple memorial plaques. His contributions shape how visitors experience and understand the place through visual expression.
