Inárcs – Statue Park
Inárcs is a settlement with a long history in the region. From the Middle Bronze Age onwards, people of many archaeological cultures have settled in its borders. The name of the place comes from the Old Turkish word meaning “man of noble birth”. It first appeared in medieval sources in 1263 as Inarch.
The church of St George is recorded from 1332. The remains of the foundations of its building, which is striking in this area, over 20 metres long, were excavated by Edit Tari in 2000. According to the excavation, the oldest Romanesque period of the church, which was destroyed several times and rebuilt by the parishioners, and which can be identified by the presence of quern stones and tombs, dates from the 11th to 12th centuries. One of the tombs from this period also yielded a unique find: a fragment of a priestly bust made of copper, on which the inscription ‘St George Sinless’ was engraved in Greek.
Ferenc Polyák, a woodcarving artist and master of folk art, started a movement in 1995 to mark the site of the destroyed medieval churches with a cross for the millennium. In this spirit, he first carved the Inárcsi cross, which was erected alongside the “old” highway. The initiative had a national resonance, and local enthusiasm led to the excavation and the construction of the memorial park-sculpture park.
The site of the temple ruins is located in József Street, near the sports field.
