The Pillnitz Declaration, announced at the Pillnitz Conference on 25-27 August 1791 against revolutionary France.

The main topics of the conference were the Polish issue (the adoption of the Constitution of 3 May) and the end of the Austrian war against Turkey. The meeting was attended by Emperor Leopold II and King Frederick William II. In several conferences, there was also the brother of King Charles of France Artois (later King Charles X). On the other hand, the meeting of the elector of the Fryderyk August I did not take part in it.

Under the influence of the French emigres shortly before the end of the session, on 27 August 1791, the participants of the conference adopted a document to aid the King of France in restoring his full power. In France, it was read as a declaration of war that broke out the following year. For this reason Napoleon I, who owed his career to the wars, visited Pillnitz, saying, "Here I am born."
