History
The bronze Turul bird was once part of the monument in the center of Tiszaújlak, which was erected in 1903 to commemorate the victorious battle of Rákóczi Ferenc II.
The monument was destroyed in 1945 during the Soviet occupation. The Turul bird was then transported to Ungvár, today it can be seen in the castle.
The re-erection of the monument in Tiszaújlak was achieved by Bíró Andor, the legendary president of the Határőr Kolhoz-Agricultural Company. Thanks to him, on July 16, 1989, the monument could be re-inaugurated in the Subcarpathian Hungarian village of Tiszaújlak.
The first victorious battle of Rákóczi's War of Independence ("Crossing at Tiszabecs") took place near Tiszaújlak, as a result of which the insurgents seized the strategically important Tiszaújlak-Tiszabecs ferry on 14 July 1703. The Hungarian and Rusyn insurgents fought together heroically in the battle against the Habsburg imperials.
