Statue of György Kultsár

In 1573, a printing office was established in Dolnja Lendava which, at that time, played a significant role in Hungarian Protestantism. Several famous publications came out of Rudolf Hoffhalter´s printing office: among others, the sermons of György Kultsár, a Lutheran preacher, and this book is today considered as the first book printed in the territory of contemporary Slovenia. György Kultsár wrote three books in Hungarian, the most significant of which was the Postillák, azaz Szentírás-magyarázatok from 1574. The community erected a memorial to the Lutheran preacher which is a bronze statue of the book. The statue, which is located close to the Theatre and Concert Hall and the Synagogue, is the artwork of sculptor János Béres.
