Mausoleum of Milan Rastislav Štefánik, Stone mausoleum and observation point on Bradlo Hill, District of Myjava, Slovakia.

The white travertine monument features four 12-meter obelisks surrounding a central sarcophagus on a two-tiered stone platform measuring 93 by 62 meters.

Architect Dušan Jurkovič completed the construction in 1928 to honor General Milan Rastislav Štefánik, who died in a 1919 plane crash near Bratislava.

The memorial represents Slovak national identity through its monumental architecture and commemorates Štefánik's role in establishing Czechoslovak independence after World War I.

The mausoleum opens daily to visitors, offering interpretive panels about Štefánik's life and achievements, with parking facilities available at the base of Bradlo Hill.

Located 543 meters above sea level, this Art Deco structure combines geometric forms with traditional stonework techniques while providing views across the Myjavská pahorkatina region.
