History

The memorial was unveiled on October 15, 1871. It is the artwork of Takáts Károly.

On December 16, 1848 the Hungarians, under the command of Colonnel Guyon Richárd, successfully broke out of Nagyszombat, which was surrounded by the Austrians. The statue was raised in memory of this heroic deed. After the Czechoslovak invasion in 1918, the memorial was moved to the cemetery and its three plaques were torn off.
