History

After visiting the spa in Bártfafürdő in 1895, Queen Elisabeth stayed in Eperjes. The statue was made by Stróbl Alajos and was unveiled in 1901. During the Czechoslovak invasion in 1918-19 the statue was vandalized. Later it was considered to have been lost. The statue was repaired and unveiled again in 2010 with the inscription "Sissi". Originally she wore a crown.
