| Description | A redoubt of a rectangular plan with bastions in the corners is located on the Bohemian-Moravian border, in the cadastre of the village of Rohozná. A road runs through the centre of the fortification, which was apparently the reason for its construction and which the fortification controlled. The article presents the existing information about the site as well as the unpublished results of archaeological research carried out in 2008. The fortification features on Müller’s map of Bohemia from 1720, and is marked there as the Alte Schanz. Based on the context of events in the region, it is hypothesised that the fortification was built by the imperial army between March 1645 and the summer (or winter) of 1647, in response to the presence of a Swedish garrison in nearby Jihlava. |
