Take a tour of Kelheim Hall of Liberation in Kelheim, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The Kelheim Hall of Liberation memorializes the victories of Germany's armies over Napoleon.
The nineteenth century Napoleonic Wars devastated the population and historic structures of Europe.
This hall recognizes the end to the destruction, for it was after these battles that Napoleon was exiled.
The ceremony inaugurating this hall commenced on the 50th anniversary of Germany’s victory in the Battle of the Nations.
Surrounding the exterior of the rotunda are eighteen statues, which stand vigilant over the site.
Inside the Hall of Liberation are 34 statues of winged Nike, the goddess of victory.
