History

The famous bell foundry of Master Konrad was mentioned for the first time in 1357. His successors maintained the foundry until 1527.

Its bells are still functioning in Szepeshely, Kassa, Kőszeg and also on the main square of Krakow. The memorial was unveiled in 2012 on the 655th anniversary of the founding of the bell foundry. Next to the memorial is the bell of Wagner János, which was made in the foundry at the turn of the 15th century. Originally it was located in the bell tower of the parish church of Márkusfalva.
