The unique execution site from 1574 ranks among the three best-preserved monuments of its kind in the Czech Republic. A total of about 20 condemned individuals were executed here. The largest execution took place in 1680, when four rebellious peasants were hanged. After the Josephine reforms at the end of the 19th century, executions were abolished here. At the end of World War II, an anti-aircraft artillery position was established here. The execution site is located on the terrain edge of the northwestern slope of Soudní vrch - above the right bank of the Bíliny River. The original preserved fragment of the stone structure on a circular base was raised to its original three-meter height during reconstruction. The building is complemented by a wooden floor, steps, and a cross visible from afar. Views primarily towards the center of Ústí nad Labem.
