TITLE: STEPHANUS REX

STEPHANUS REX 977-1038. Saint Stephen I is the creator of the Christian Hungarian State.

The idea of setting up a statue was raised in 1863. For this purpose, collections were also organized. Finally, in 1896 the state commissioned the Prime Minister to prepare the sculpture at public expense. The statue was made by Alajos Stróbl, while the architect was Frigyes Schulek.
