Project Austerlitz

The village lies on the confluence of the creeks Romza and Roketnice approximately in the middle of the imaginary triangle ▌urАР √ Santon √ Prace knoll. To the village of JiЬМkovice also belongs the former roadside inn Rohlenka, built by the former Czar▓s road from Brno to Olomouc. In the eve of the Battle of Austerlitz on the 1st December 1805 a large part of JiЬМkovice was burned down and looted. To remember this occasion the local inhabitants traditionally hold a commemorative pious event, when on ▌urАР in the eve of the anniversary of the Battle of Austerlitz they light bonfires, so called JiЬМkovice Fires. The iron cross on the mass grave behind the village by the road towards Tvaro·nА and a farmhouse, which was during the battle a field hospital of the French Army as well as the belfry on the village green were in 1996 declared to be cultural monuments.
