Napoleon's Beam

A small beam has been built into the corner floor of the chapel situated on Santon Hill, near Tvarozná. It is said that this is the beam around which Napoleon had tied his horse when he came to the hilltop in order to assess the battlefield prior to the battle's onslaught.

(An except from "Tvarozná, Santon, and The Battle of the Three Emperors",
