Novosady, Memorial to the Bratislava–Brno Operation on Čertoraj hill near Křepice, Břeclav District, Czech Republic

Novosady is an unfinished memorial to the Bratislava–Brno Operation on Čertoraj hill near Křepice, Břeclav District. Its core is a partially built main building sunk into the ground, planned with a cinema hall, permanent exhibition and a glassed twelve-sided observation tower 10 metres in diameter. A stone mound with a memorial plaque and an information board now stand by the site.

On 23 April 1945 Marshal Rodion Malinovsky visited an observation post at Novosady and ordered the decisive attack on Brno. A foundation stone for a monument was laid on Čertoraj hill on 2 February 1975, and construction began in 1984. Work stopped on 18 November 1989 and was never resumed.

The name Novosady comes from the locality where Marshal Malinovsky visited the 18th Guards Rifle Corps observation post on 23 April 1945. A film of that visit, released in 1965, helped identify the spot on Čertoraj hill. Since 2012 a stone mound with a memorial plaque and an information board about the Bratislava-Brno operation stands by the unfinished monument.

The monument stands on Čertoraj hill east of Křepice, reached by a turn-off from road II/381 between Křepice and Nikolčice; the original car park lies about 100 m below it. A blue hiking trail from Křepice passes the site, marked by the Novosady (památník) signpost. The repaired lookout dome is open to visitors.

The memorial's observation tower was designed as a glazed twelve-sided prism 10 metres across, meant to hold a relief map of the territory from Křepice to Brno. Construction of the tower began in February 1989 and stopped that November; the dome was repaired and opened in 2022.
