History

It commemorates the Trianon Dictate in 1920, which tore the Hungarian town of Komárom out of Hungary and attached it to the newly created Czechoslovakia against the will of its inhabitants.

The memorial column was erected in the garden of the parish office of the Reformed Church in 2010. The building was constructed in 1796 in Classicist style for the Calvinist College, where the famous Hungarian writer Jókai Mór also began his studies. The famous Hungarian poet Csokonai Vitéz Mihály met his love Vajda Julianna, Lilla, for the first time in the small garden in front of the college.
