History[edit]
The first written mention of Telnice is from 1244.[2]
Telnice was a battlefield of the Battle of Austerlitz on 2 December 1805. Austrians under Michael von Kienmayer and Russians under Dmitry Dokhturov and Friedrich Wilhelm von Buxhoeveden wrested the village from the French 3rd Line Infantry Regiment, lost it to a counterattack, and finally recaptured it. After the battle went against the allies farther north, they evacuated Telnice and retreated, suffering heavy losses in men and artillery pieces.[3]
