" images of buildings at Austerlitz" Topic

Currently searching the web for images of the villages around the battle of Austerlitz so I can make some buildings in 28mm.

Now what I am after is actual photos and happy snaps taken by people who have visited in recent times that they can send me for inspiration, especially churchs and château's from Holubice, and telnice

please email me

Try googling Austerlitz and Slavkov u Brna for images, you'll find sites like this:

But I`'ll pass the word to a friend who's been there recently.

thanks

If you want current buildings try photographing your nearest MacDonalds Restaurant – yep, theres one on the battle field now, near the Zurlan and Santon on the main highway. In the McDonalds carpark they've incorporated an earlier erected memorial to the Russians – a large bronze Russian Grenadier in Mitre Hat stands at the edge of the carpark – quite the most incongroups thing you've ever seen in a McDonalds carpark.

That would be funny, sneaking a scale model McDonalds into your Austerlitz table top. Wonder if anyone would notice it?

Would McDonalds have served wine, beer or whatever in 1805? That would have kept it safe from artillery targeting.

personally I would of burnt it for warmth :)

Have you thought about taking a stroll on Google Street View? – because the battlefield's all there. Countless examples of old houses still there – look out for the same single-storey type as in the villages outside Vienna, as the 10mm on my 1809 Blog:

For 1805 in this part of the world, avoid having villages with anything grander than single-storey rendered houses. (Don't fall into the German town house trap.) However, there is usually always a church and sometimes a municipal building. The character of which usually reflect something of the area.
