History
The bust was unveiled in 1902 in memory of Queen Elisabeth of Hungary, the wife of Franz Joseph I. She was very popular in Hungary because of her affection for the country. It is the artwork of Jankovich Gyula. The bust was torn down by the Czechoslovak invaders in 1918. It was reerected in the 1990s but it was only provided with Slovak and German inscription.
