Brother Barry in front of the St Mary's Column in Győr's Széchenyi Square, erected by Bishop Lipót Kollonich of Győr in 1868. The statue commemorates the reconquest of Buda. According to the inscription on the pedestal of the statue, Kollonich became cardinal on the same day (2 September 1686) that Buda (on 17 November 1873, Buda, Pest and Óbuda were united to form Budapest) was liberated from 145 years of Turkish rule.
