War memorial in memory of the Battle of Wagram

The stone monument features military sculptures and stands as a testament to the Battle of Wagram, where French and Austrian forces clashed in 1809.

The memorial marks the location of Napoleon's victory over Archduke Charles, leading to the Treaty of Schönbrunn and Austria's territorial losses.

Regular ceremonies at the memorial bring together local residents and military historians to honor the 72,000 soldiers who fell during the battle.

Visitors can reach the memorial by following the marked historical trail from Deutsch-Wagram's town center, with informational panels in German and English.
