The Baroque sandstone sculpture of St. George on horseback, fighting a three-headed dragon, stands on a pedestal in a circular reservoir. The dragon heads are decorated as gargoyles. The sculpture of St. George was originally located in the luxurious Renaissance gardens of the Archbishop's Summer Palace, built in the mid-17th century by Esztergom Archbishop Juraj Lippay (now the seat of the government of the Slovak Republic).
