History
Lendvay Márton Sr. (Nagybánya, 11 November 1807 - Pest, 29 January 1858) was a Hungarian actor, singer, theatre director and the father of the actor Lendavay Márton Jr. On the night of the unveiling of the memorial plaque on the wall of his birthplace, the actors of Kolozsvár decided to donate the income from the performance given on that occasion to a statue of Lendvay to be built. The sculpture was made by Verő László, a sculptor from Nagykőrös, in 1900. The statue of Lendvay Márton originally stood on Lendvay Square in front of the Civic Society building, but it was pulled down by the Romanian invaders in 1922 and demolished in 1936. The Royal Hungarian Army entered Nagybánya on 7 September 1940. On this occasion, the statue of Lendvay Márton was erected again, but not in its original place, but in the main square of the town. When the Soviets invaded Transylvania, Romanian nationalists set a bonfire around the statue, but the bust was not damaged. After the war, the statue was put in a museum storage. In 1958, it was placed on the promenade in the town park.
