Statue of Saint John of Nepomuk in Oslány

The late Baroque roadside statue of Saint John of Nepomuk was made at the end of the 18th century. It was erected by József Laszlovszky, a magistrate of Pest County, senator (later mayor) of Buda, who was born in this village on October 7, 1737, the son of István Laszlovszki and Mária. ; Little is known about József Laszlovszky's youth. According to the death certificate, he was born in Oszlány, and a certain will dated 1818 also mentions his Oszlány kinship. Only the names of his parents are known from the birth certificate. He probably married a girl named Zsuzsanna in Oszlány when he was very young, since the baptism of the son of József Laszlovszky and Zsuzsanna Adalbert was recorded in the Oszlány certificate on April 17, 1768. ; However, in the 1760s, József was already a student at the Buda law schools. He probably moved to Buda after completing his studies, and by the end of the decade he had already held several important positions. From 1766 he was a prosecutor, from 1780 a court councilor-notary, from 1792 a judge, from 1793 a city councilor and a magistrate of Pest County. Between 1795 and 1800 he was the mayor of Buda, and then became a city councilor again when his mandate expired. He was elected as a representative of the Buda parliament several times. ; According to the minutes of the first half of the 1770 council meeting, he received Buda citizenship in 1770. He received a noble title from Leopold II by a royal decree dated December 1790 and then proclaimed on January 3, 1791. ; After 1770, he married Veronika Kramerlauf (1751–1823), with whom he had his first child in 1773. Six of their nine children reached adulthood. József lived a long life; at the time of his death, only his eldest son, József Laszlovszky Jr., and Lajosné Sághy (Laszlovszky Magdolna) were alive. ; József Laszlovszky was already one of the richest citizens of Buda in 1791. At that time, he purchased the vast Laszlovszky-major in Zugliget, which became a popular venue for social life at the time. He purchased estates on the Szentendre Island, in the villages of Pócsmegyer and Szigetmonostor. He leased out the capital's customs rights, which is why the customs house that still stands on the grounds of today's Szent János Hospital was called Laszlovszky Customs. Due to the location of the manor, the former Hunyady Hill (now Hunyad Peak) was renamed Laszlovszky Hill in the 19th century. In 1799, he had Hungary's first lithographic printing press set up in the town hall in Buda Castle, shortly after the invention of lithography. (This later became the property of the Vizivárosi printing press, and the publisher made the lithographs for all of its later publications here, under the name "Adomásky-style stone and book printing press".) ; Died in Buda on 20 November 1818.
