Relief of István Koháry II in the Fülek Castle Museum
Statue, monument, memorial plaque
In May 2017, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Castle Museum, the presentation of the relief of István Koháry II by Tibor Túri Török took place. The Keszthely sculptor, who was present at the occasion, donated his work to the Fülek Castle Museum, which can be viewed in the Bebek Tower. ; István Koháry II was born on March 11, 1649 and died on March 29, 1731. He is also known as a poet, field marshal, judge of the country and the last castle captain of Fülek. He was 15 years old when his father died in battle, so he inherited his father's estate at a very young age. Throughout his life, he steadfastly supported the Habsburgs and the Catholic Renewal, was a feared commander in the anti-Turkish wars, and had a significant influence on Fülek's life as well. He supported the development of science and culture, and he also had the city's current Catholic church built.
