“Tomor­row we hit the city for the last time. Before the bells at Petrov ring noon, Brno must be ours. If not, we will retreat.” – thus spoke the Swedish Gen­er­al Torsten­son in the spring of 1645, when he had unsuc­cess­ful­ly besieged Brno for 4 long months. And that was after he thought he would sew up a vic­to­ry with­in a week. Indeed, in the fortress of Špil­berk in Brno there were 400 sol­diers and he arrived with 18 thou­sand! The con­quest of Brno meant very much to him – it was the only thing in the path to besieg­ing Vien­na.

How did this great bat­tle take place? Who stood up to this Nordic leader? What was he about, where did he live and what trap did he think up for the Swedes? And why, then, does the bell on Petrov still ring noon at 11 am? His­to­ry wrapped in ciphers, log­ic tasks and hid­ing places are await­ing you on the trail Bat­tle of Brno.
