History
Emperor Leopold I erected the column in 1675 as a gratitude for the successful unveiling of the Wesselényi-conspiracy. The Catholic Hungarian nobility started to conspire against the Habsburg emperor, because Leopold I made peace with the Ottoman Empire for 20 years instead of launching a campaign for the liberation of Hungary from the Turks after the crushing defeat of the Turkish army at Szentgotthérd in 1664. Bónis Ferenc, a participant of the conspiracy, was executed in Pozsony.
