History

The statue stands in front of the former county hall of Ugocsa County, which is today a Hungarian high school named after Perényi Zsigmond. It was unveiled on October 24, 1906. The statue was torn down by the Soviet invaders in 1945. The statue was hidden in the basement of the County Museum of Ugocsa. In 1991, the local organization of the KMKSZ (Subcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association) restored the statue of Perényi Zsigmond in its original place, in front of the county hall. Perényi Zsigmond became Speaker of the House of Magnates (the upper chamber of the Parliament of Hungary) in October 1848. Perényi Zsigmond also signed Hungary's Declaration of Independence with the leadership of Kossuth Lajos on April 14, 1849. After the Hungarian surrender at Világos due to Russian military intervention, Perényi Zsigmond was put before a military tribunal in Pest, sentenced to death by hanging and executed.
