Corner of Three Emperors
This was a former border point at the confluence of the Black and White Pszemsha rivers, located near the town of Myslowice in modern Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.
From 1871 to 1918, it served as the border between the Russian Empire, Austria-Hungary, and the German Empire.
Since 1871, this place became known as the Corner of Three Emperors. Before the outbreak of World War I, this tripoint was a popular tourist destination, especially for residents of the German Empire.
In 1907, the German authorities erected a 22-meter (72-foot) Bismarck tower on the banks of the Pszemsha at the Corner of Three Emperors.
