Independent edifices: - Memorial Column from Rábaszentmihály

Uli Independent edifices Memorial column from Rábaszentmihály After recapturing Győr from the Turks in 1598 the governor of Lower Austria decreed that memóriát columns be set up to commemorate the event. A late example of this tradition is the decorated roadside column built in the 19th century at Rábaszentmihály, a town devastated by the Turks. The 4 pictures painted on zinc plates represent the Blessed Virgin, St. Barbara with a sword and a chalice, St. Wendelin dressed in German shepherd's clothes and St Florianus with a grinding stone and the angel pouring water Protestant graveyard with tombstones Significant relics of peasant stone-masonry from the Buda Mountains and the Zsámbék Basin are presented in the cemetery. The tombstones are from Szigetszentmiklós, Bia and Tök. Among those from Szigetszentmiklós are many heart-shaped and colourfully painted examples. Childrens graves were marked by small tombstones with initials. The oldest of the 4 tombstones relocated from Tök bears the date 1776, and has a unique Baroque flower-tike head. The predecessors of this flower motive were the painted wooden boards of churches. 180
