The Plague Memorial Column

"In 1863 there was a large outbreak of the plague in Hédervár. It is likely that this was when the column with the plague saints, Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch and the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus was built. For the millicentennial in 1997, it was moved from Kossuth Street to Saint Rosalia Park. The base bears the Esterházy and the united Viczay-Héderváry coats of arms with devices of Jesus Christ’s suffering depicted underneath them. The building is Baroque in style and is protected by monument status. "

Millennium Memorial

The memorial honoring the foundation of the state on the square in front of the mayor’s office is the work of painter Károly Borbély, a village native, and industrial artist Péter Horváth. It was dedicated on the village fair day held in 2001. Seven chrome steel flags stand on a stone base symbolizing the seven conquering tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin.

Árpád Tree

The English oak is one of Hédervár's symbols. This is most likely one of Hungary's oldest trees. According to folk tradition, it is 1000 years old and Prince Árpád tied his horse to the trunk of the tree when he was resting here with his troops in 907 preparing for the Battle of Pozsony (Bratislava). The scarring on the tree-trunk is said to be the markings made by the tether.
