History
In 1898, on the initiative of Gedeon Kiss, the town's chief administrator, the Kossuth Garden was designed by Johann Hein, an architect from Hamburg.
There was already a bust of Kiss Gedeon in the Kossuth Garden, the work of Horvay János of Budapest was unveiled in 1903. However, after the Romanian occupation in the 1920s, unknown perpetrators removed it from its pedestal. The Romanians removed the Hungarian statues in the occupied territories, and the identity of the cowardly perpetrators was usually kept secret. After the town was returned to Hungary in 1940, the statue was also returned to its original location, where it disappeared after 1960. It is said that the Romanians thought it was a statue of Kossuth Lajos and removed it for that reason.
