In the early 19th century, Šlapanice was primarily an agricultural center that supplied Brno with bread and milk. At that time, there were about eight times fewer inhabitants here than today.

This was also contributed to by the fact that all three armies gradually passed through the town. Let's take a walk in their footsteps.
