The sculpture group with the central figure of St Imre was unveiled in Móricz Zsigmond Square (Horthy Miklós Square before 1945) in 1930.

The monument was donated by Archduchess Isabella of Croy-Dülmen and made by Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl. The sculpture group unveiled as part of the St Imre year events displays seven figures. Six of them standing on a one-meter high base surround Prince St Imre on a 3-meter high pedestal. St Imre, son of King St Stephen is respected as the patron of Hungarian youth so the miner figures represent six groups of the young. On the left of St Imre there is a peasant girl, a boy scout and a student. On the left there is neatly dressed girl with lilies in her hands, a girl offering her love and a praying levente (member of paramilitary youth organization active between WW1 and 2).

The base holds a relief with St Stephen offering the Holy Crown to Virgin Mary. The bronze sculptures were cast by Rafaell Vignalli, one of the most recognized bronze casters in Hungary between the two World Wars.

The sculpture group was placed in Buda on the Archduchess’s request, close to the place where his tutor, Bishop St Gellért died as a martyr. For the inauguration ceremony pilgrims from Tirol brought a large cross that was later placed in the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary (District 14).

The sculpture composition was badly damaged during WW2 and the Revolution of 1956, however, it was expertly restored only in the early 2000s.

There have been various examples around Bartók Béla Street for the respect towards the ill-fated Prince. For instance, Prince St Imre Street (1929-1953) today called as Villányi Street with the Cistercian church bearing his name built in 1938 or the Cistercian high school next to. District 11 was named as St Imre Town then renamed in the 1950s and since 2007 a part of the district has had the Prince’s name again.
