Statue of András Hadik, Bronze equestrian sculpture in Buda Castle Quarter, Hungary

The statue depicts Field Marshal András Hadik mounted on his horse, wearing his military uniform with intricate details created by sculptor György Vastagh.

The monument, installed in 1937, commemorates the Hungarian military commander who successfully captured Berlin during the Seven Years' War in 1757.

The bronze statue represents the Hungarian military tradition and stands as a symbol of the historical connection between Hungary and the Habsburg Empire.

Located at the intersection of Szentharomsag and Uri Streets, visitors can find the statue while exploring the medieval streets of Buda Castle.

Students at the Technical University developed a tradition of rubbing the horse's metallic testicles before exams for good fortune.
