History

The statue was erected in 1899 in memory of the Hungarian War of Independence between 1848 and 1849. It was the artwork of Tóth András, the father of the Hungarian poet Tóth Áprád. Originally it stood on Kammerhof Street next to the Kachelmann Tavern, but in 1919 it was vandalized and torn down by the Czechoslovak invaders. Now a Soviet memorial occupies its place. The statue was reerected in the courtyard of the castle in 2002.
