Az erdélyi kettes huszárok hősi emlékműve - Az erdélyi kettes huszárok hősi emlékműve

Good view ... ?

One of the most beautiful equestrian statues in Budapest. Let’s stop for a moment and remember the heroes. Now in the winter of 2020 it has been renovated very nicely. Thank You

In the middle of the cozy promenade on the western side of the castle you can see the monument to the 2 Hussars who fell during the First World War. The vibrant work of Lajos Petri may have been erected as a result of the gathering of the former regiment's officers. The artist broke with the monumental custom of the era. Instead of an emotional, pathetic tone, a dynamic work was created from the sculptor's work. Although the man who jumps his horse and clings to his right horn only refers to his being a soldier in his head, no one can have any doubts about the subject of the work. The great location of the monument also contributes to the effect. The sculpture set on the edge of the bastion overhangs both sides. The pedestal was designed by Károly Weichinger in a deliberately understated style. With its simple, clinker-bricked pedestal material and shape, it fits perfectly into the brick wall of the bastion. The two sides of the pedestal were originally decorated with reliefs. You can still see this in the archive images. One remains today, is preserved in the Military History Museum, and the other is unknown.

I visited it yesterday (cherry blossom) This monument is one of the most spectacular (most successful) public sculptures in the city. Meanwhile, the hussar reliefs were "returned" to the side of the posts.

If you walk on the Tóth Árpád promenade, be sure to see the statue. Its location in the surrounding landscape further highlights the creator's message

Located in the Buda Castle District on the Árpád Tóth Promenade, not far from the Military History Museum, this spectacular statue and monument is accompanied by an unparalleled panorama!
