   Mindesten for Rytterfægtningen ved Torsted

   Set back from busy Vejlevej on the southern edge of Horsens, the Mindesten for Rytterfægtningen ved Torsted is a modest memorial stone in a small green strip marking a dramatic cavalry skirmish from the Second Schleswig War. Erected in 1914 on the 50th anniversary of the battle, it commemorates a handful of Danish dragoons who faced Prussian hussars here in April 1864. Today the stone offers a quiet, reflective pause and a tangible link to Denmark’s turbulent 19th‑century history amid everyday suburban surroundings.
