History

On February 9, 1849, at the Battle of Piski, General Bem József's Hungarian army defeated the Austrians occupying Transylvania. The Austrian Imperial Colonel Ludwig Losy von Lossenau was seriously wounded and died a few days later. On 23 July 1852, after the Hungarian War of Independence had been defeated by the Russian intervention, the foundation stone was laid in the park of the castle in Gyulafehervár in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph, but it was not completed until 1853.
