Andras Hadik Statue

2 reviews of Andras Hadik Statue

Commander of Buda Castle

Andras Hadik (1710-1790) was a commander of Buda Castle during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa I. At the base of the monument, there's a glass plate containing the names of the soldiers who served under him. He's notable for having started as a lowly officer before rising to Colonel and eventually leader of the entire army. One piece of trivia: if you notice the horse's testicles, you'll see they they're shiny and worn. That's because there is a local tradition among university students that say you'll have good luck on final exams if you pass by the statue and touch the horse's testicles.
