Description

Pyramiden i Austerlitz blev bygget af napoleonske soldater på en af de højeste forhøjninger i den nederlandske Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Selvom den ligger inden for kommunen Woudenberg, betragtes den som vartegn for Zeister bydelen Austerlitz. På dette centralt beliggende sted i Nederlandene havde den franske general Auguste de Marmont i 1804 indrettet en hærlejr. Her samlede han inden for få måneder en slagkraftig hær for at drive de britiske tropper væk, hvis de ønskede at gentage angrebet fra 1799. Ud fra tilfredshed med sin nye hærs kampkraft lod han i efteråret 1804 soldaterne bygge dette monument af sand og jord. Inspireret af pyramiderne i Giza, som Marmont havde set under Napoleons felttog i Egypten, blev det en pyramide. Byggeriet tog 29 dage, og på toppen af den 36 meter høje pyramide blev der rejst en 13 meter høj, træ obelisk. Befolkningen i dette område kaldte bakken Marmontberg. I 1805 trak Marmont sine tropper tilbage til Tyskland og deltog i koalitionskrigen, der endte i slaget ved Austerlitz. Den nye konge Louis Napoleon gav kort tid efter Marmontberg navnet Pyramide i Austerlitz.
