History

On March 24, 1877 the memorial of the Hungarian War of Independence was unveiled on the Kubinyi square next to the Calvinist church. The stone obelisk was raised in memory of the troop of Maj. Beniczky Lajos, which routed the several times larger Imperial troop on March 24, 1849 during the Hungarian War of Independence. In 1945 it was destroyed by the Czechoslovak administration, which systematically removed every memorial that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past.

The statue of Kármán József was originally unveiled in 1896 in front of the Hungarian Royal State Grammar School. The Czechoslovak invaders removed it in 1945. It was set up again on March 24, 1969, where once the memorial of the Hungarian War of Independence stood. Kármán József (1769-1795) was a Hungarian writer (Fanni hagyományai, a sentimentalist novel), publisher of the literary journal Uránia, and theater organizer of the Enlightenment Era.
