Description

On the 1st day of August, 1664, the Battle of Saint-Gotthard (Mogersdorf) resulted in a serious defeat for the Ottoman army.

The investigation starts on a special interactive plotting board, then it will take you to the site of the battle, including spots on the Austrian side of the river-bend.
