Óbudai Szentháromság-szobor - Óbudai Szentháromság-szobor

It's in a nice, clean environment. The statue itself is beautiful.

Atmospheric Óbuda square with many other attractions. It is worth visiting here and taking a walk.

Beautifully maintained, spectacular creation. It has an adventurous story. It is amazing that it was made in 1740! It originally stood in this place, then after its demolition and trip to Zichy Castle, it was rebuilt in 1998 after restoration. Very nice, detailed work. Survivors of the plague seem to have been grateful.

The statue of the Holy Trinity stands in a small square between Óbuda High School and the Óbuda Museum. 1738-39. The plague of 2006 destroyed almost half of the population of Óbuda. In memory of the victims and for the grace of avoiding a similar plague, the statue was completed in 1740. It was demolished in 1950 due to the construction of the Árpád Bridge driveway, and its pieces were placed in the nearby Kiscelli Museum. By 2000, a restored version was made from public donations and erected near its original location.

In 1738, an epidemic of plague erupted at the beginning of the century in Asia Minor reached Óbuda. Since the disease was not spared by the settlement's parish priest at that time, he soon became the victim of the epidemic, so the newly settled Trinitarian monks performed the priest's duties and took care of the patients. The last registered patient died in December 1739 and, based on a statement by the urban judge, Thomas Segetta, dated December 16, 1739, 888 inhabitants, about one-third of the population of Óbuda during a year of the epidemic. half became a victim of "black death". Since the life of the people who lived then was completely transgressed by religion, the epidemic was considered to be the punishment of God, and its passion for mercy, and it was decided to set up a statue of the Trinity in memory of the destruction of the epidemic. The necessary money was collected in a few months (half of it was given to the estate owner, Pétern Zichy), and on May 30, 1740 the foundation stone was made. Unfortunately, we do not have accurate data on the creator and setting up of the statue, but according to the literature, the monument was already in 1743 at the latest. The statue group is made of sandstone and its monumentality is shown by its height: 10.4 meters, its floor area is 41 square meters. After several centuries, it was demolished in the 1950s and then restored in 2000 - from its original location to the south - on the blog of the Óbuda Museum.
