Austerlitz, Village in Utrecht Province, Netherlands

Located 6 kilometers east of Zeist, Austerlitz extends across 4.34 square kilometers of land with a population of 1,705 residents.

The settlement originated in 1806 when King Louis Napoleon of Holland named it after his brother Napoleon's military victory at the Battle of Austerlitz.

The village maintains connections to its French heritage through architectural elements and historical monuments that reflect the Napoleonic period in Dutch history.

The village operates under postal code 3711 and features several local services, including shops and community facilities for residents and visitors.

Near the village stands the Pyramid of Austerlitz, constructed in 1804 by French soldiers, with a stone obelisk replacing the original wooden structure in 1894.
