What role does Bárczay-kastély play?

The Bolgár kertész emlékmű stands in the castle’s front garden. It is the first monument to Bulgarian gardeners in Central Europe. It is dedicated to the Bulgarian gardeners who lived and worked there from the first third of the 20th century onward. The monument’s location and dedication give it a distinct connection to local history.
What do the monuments commemorate?
The 1848-as emlékmű was erected in 1867. It commemorates the victorious Battle of Zsolca and those who fell in it. The year 1867 marks the monument’s construction; its commemoration is dedicated to the battle and the people who died there. This distinguishes this specific memorial site from the broader historical period covered by the Helytörténeti Kiállítóhely.
