At the Mountain Park on the Murmanska Vyšina, a place has been designated for the monument in Bratislava, which was designed by the architect Franz Wimmer in 1925 in the shape of a large stone sarcophagus built on the backs of lions. Architect Andrej Szönyi also collaborated on the monument, and their work lasted four years. The bodies of the lions were carved by Alojz Rigele with his own hands from hard granite, which was used from the base of the canceled monument to Maria Theresa. The sarcophagus is symbolic, its insides contain a metal box with a charter and a celebratory poem to the fallen hero
