Memorial to the Calvinist and Jewish victims of World War I
Statue, monument, memorial plaque
In the park in front of the Reformed school stands the memorial to the Reformed and Jewish victims of World War I, made in the 1920s by the stonemason Stern from Érsekújvár. A tall column rises from the square base, on which the names of the victims are engraved, with a turul bird on top, which was later removed. It was recently restored as the work of András Török, a master blacksmith from Komárom.
Inscription/symbol:
