History

It was raised in 1715 as a thanksgiving for the passing of the great plague between 1710 and 1711. According to a legend in the great earthquake in 1763 a wedding carriage was swallowed by the earth with the bride in it followed by the entire wedding party. Komárom lies on the 160 kilometers long tectonic line named after the town.
