Royal Stud

Kisber was home to the 15,648-acre (63.33 km2) Imperial-Royal Stud where a Thoroughbred racehorse named for the town was bred under the supervision of Stud's manager, Count Zoest. Foaled in 1873, Kisber raced in England where in 1876 he won that country's most prestigious race, The Derby. He was then sent to Paris where he won France's most important race, the Grand Prix de Paris.[2]

Twin towns — sister cities

Kisbér is twinned with:

People

gollark: Imagine requiring food to survive, as opposed to becoming a superior machine lifeform.
gollark: Also, vaccines have been going to older/more vulnerable people first.
gollark: That looks like significantly below half as many cases in vaccinated people, even though vaccination is at 68.1% (at least one dose). Which isn't *great* but isn't "doesn't even seem to work".
gollark: Jesus is within Site 2-Alpha's anomalous theological entity containment units, yes.
gollark: Obviously, this is because all scientific publications ever censor anything which governments might not want talked about.
