Kóvár Lutheran Cemetery
Cemeteries, tombstones, graves
Kóvár once had a significant Lutheran population. In the Lutheran cemetery opposite the church, you can still see some beautiful gravestones of noblemen from the time. In 1846, the child of one of the village’s landowners, the Horváthy family, who died young, was buried here. The following text is engraved on her pointed-arched, rosette-topped tombstone: “This spring violet died in her seventh year, / little Ilona Horváthy, nurtured on her parents’ bosom. / This grave silence, peace to her family of mourners.” ; A semi-circular tombstone with weeping willows marks the resting place of the distinguished “Mr. Gábor Horváthy”, who died in 1873. The tombstone with a lion’s coat of arms holding the stone vase of Ádám Géczy also defies the iron teeth of time (1826). ; The prominent native of the village, the historian Ference Kubinyi, was also buried here at the beginning of the 20th century.
