Memorial, Celldömölk

The Trianon Memorial Cross is standing atop the 279-metre high Mount Ság.
It was erected in 1934 from the generous donations of the mine owners to commemorate the tragic peace treaty of 1920. It was not until 1932 that the people of the Kemenesalja region had come to terms with the devastating treaty and felt the need to set up a memorial on top of Mount Ság where pilgrims could come to. Among the initiators of the memorial there were two locals: Mr Gusztav Királyfalvi, a teacher and Dezső Szakály the head of the local Lutheran school. Donations were collected with the effective assistance of the local citizens, and by the Basalt mine Shareholding Company. The stone was dug up from the basalt quarry, and the final memorial was made up of a 10-metre tall single basalt rock and a 19-metre tall stone cross standing on it designed by Jenő Halászy and Miklós Berzsenyi.
During the time of the communism, the inscription said “For the Greater Hungary set up by the people of Kemenesajla in 1934” and the system wanted get rid of it. The stone plaque was turned around and the word “Liberty” was carved on it so the memorial could stay where it way. After the transition into democracy there were initiatives to have the cross renovated and in 2000 the new inauguration took finally place and now it is made even more attractive by a festive illumination. Mount Ság is still a great venue for festivals and memorial programmes.

Memorial to Commemorate 1956

The window pane reflects the sky and the trees nearby. The memorial was inaugurated on 23 October 2006.
