The Immaculata Statue is the most beautiful Baroque-style sculptured monument in the City. It commemorates the plague from the years 1710 -1711 and is dated from 1720 - 1723. Its architectonic base was designed by the Kosice master Tomas Tornayosi and the sculpture by the sculptor Griming. The Statue was restored in 18th and 19th century. The fence was reconstructed in 1909. The statues on the pillars of the fence were made by sculptor L. Hild of Sopron. During the Second World War the Statue was damaged and in the years 1949 - 1951 and 1971 - 1972 it was restored by acad. sculptor V. Loffler. |
