In the hall, there are 34 10.8 feet high white marble statues of Nike the Winged Goddess of Victory. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Ken Marshall Posts: 804 Joined: 20th Jun 2012 Location: Australia	Posted at 23:19 on 8th April 2014 Yes Ruth, it's the Befreiungshalle (Hall of Liberation) above the town of Kelheim in the district of Kelheim. Well done .Over to you. I didn't know this imposing monument existed until I went on an excursion which was part of a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest.The monument was built to commemorate victories against Napoleon during the Wars of Liberation 1813-1815.
