History

Czuczor Gergey (1800-1866) was a Hungarian Benedictine monk, patriotic poet and linguist. He wrote "The dictionary of the Hungarian language" (1862-1874), which included 170 thousand articles. The dictionary was finished by Fogarasi János because Czuczor Gergey died of cholera. The statue was unveiled in 1906.
