Sugar Cube Monument in Dačice
The granite monument built in 1983 is one of the most visited tourist sites in Dačice. It commemorates the year 1843, when the Dačice invention – the sugar cube – began its victorious journey across European and world markets.
The monument stands in a small park near the tall Renaissance tower of the Church of St. Lawrence. In 2012, commemorative plaques were added around the site, describing this important event in twelve foreign languages.
