Gablenz's Obelisk in Trutnov, Military memorial in Horní Předměstí, Czech Republic
Gablenz's Obelisk is a stone monument standing on Šibeník hill near Trutnov, built in the 1860s as a memorial structure. The tower includes an observation platform providing views across the countryside surrounding the town.
The monument was erected in 1868 to honor an Austrian general and commemorate a military victory during the war between Austria and Prussia. This conflict was a turning point for the region of Bohemia.
The monument is named after an Austrian military commander and serves as a local landmark that residents recognize and reference in their surroundings. It reflects how the town maintains memory of its role in 19th-century conflicts.
The monument sits on a hilltop outside the town center, reached via a walking trail that connects several historical spots. Wear sturdy shoes and allow time for the approach path.
A burial chamber lies beneath the obelisk containing the remains of the honored general, transferred from abroad years after the monument was built. This hidden aspect adds another layer to what visitors see above ground.
