Anotace: The article presents the possibilities of landscape analysis based on historical and cartographic sources.

The methods and procedures used produced important spatial information about a specific battlefield
from the second half of the 19th century. This type of non-destructive research is for the first time
applied to a battlefield of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 in the Hradec Králové region. The results of
the analysis helped to find a place for a geophysical survey, which confirmed the location of a relic of
field fortifications for the Austrian artillery near the baroque Hospital Kuks near Jaroměř. The results
provide an important example for the implementation of similar methods in the research on modern
battlefields in the Czech Republic.
