Three-sided obelisk in Riegrovy sady

The three-sided obelisk stands tall within Riegrovy sady park, featuring geometric patterns and decorative elements carved into its sandstone surface.

Built around 1840, this monument marks the location where, according to local records, two military officers engaged in a fatal duel.

The obelisk represents a significant element of Prague's 19th-century garden architecture, reflecting the period's approach to memorial structures.

Visitors can find the obelisk by following the main path through Riegrovy sady park, near the Classical lookout tower that now functions as a restaurant.

The triangular shape of the obelisk differs from traditional four-sided designs, making it an unusual example of 19th-century memorial architecture.
