Monument to the East Slovak peasant uprising

In 1831, there was a large peasant uprising in the east of Slovakia. In honor of his victims, they erected a monument on the hill Furča nad Haniskou near Prešov.

On the hill Furča, which rises in the village Haniska located in the district of Prešov, one of the biggest collisions took place between rebellious farmers and soldiers. The uprising broke out on July 19, 1831. A wave of riots affected more than 150 East Slovak villages. The rebellion was led by mayors from some municipalities and several poor peasants. The uprising was eventually suppressed by the Hungarian army.

Today, the Memorial of the East Slovak Peasant Uprising stands on this memorial site. It was built in 1938. The work was created by sculptors J. Pospíšil and Č. Vořech.
