History


The first written mention of Tvarožná is from 1288.[2]

The municipality is famous for the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805. Santon hill in the municipality was a strategic location for Napoleon's army, being occupied by the French general Claparèd and his 17th regiment.[3]


Sights


The Church of Saint Nicholas is the landmark of the village. It was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1880–1881 and replaced an old structure from the early 14th century.[4]

The Santon hill with an elevation of 296 metres (971 ft) is a view-point protected as a nature monument. On the top of the hill is the Chapel of Saint Mary Major from 1832.[5]

In Tvarožná is a replica of the French canon Gribeauval to commemorate the Battle of Austerlitz. It was originally placed on the Santon hill and later moved to the centre of the village.[6]
