History

In the courtyard of the former Beöthy Villa the Jókai bench was raised with the bust of the great Hungarian writer. The bust was destroyed during the Czechoslovak occupation in 1919. Several famous writers and scientists were the guests of Beöthy Zsigmond (Gárdonyi Géza, Mikszáth Kálmán, Molnár Ferenc, Szinnyei József).

During the month following the death of Jókai Mór, Beöthy Zsolt erected the memorial on his 65th birthday in order to preserve the spirit of the great writer.
