On the next day of the death of Lajos Kossuth (21st March 1894), the Budapest City Council motioned the setting up of a Kossuth-statue. The statue finally got ready by 1927. That statue was dismantled in 1952.
The middle figure of the today’s statue of the square is the 5 metres high Lajos Kossuth. The 4 metres high side figures – countrywoman with children, farmer with cast-off poling, soldier, worker with weapon, student with sword, horseherd in loose-fitting trousers with weapon – are situated on the left and right side of the statue composition.
