He was a general in the Imperial Army and fought against the Ottoman Empire. Paul later became the 1st Prince of Galántha. Legacy
The four Esterházy brothers were buried on November 26, 1652 in the crypt of Nagyszombat"s University Church (today: Trnava, Slovakia).
The battlefield was marked by a 5 metre tall obelisk commemorating the victory and the sacrifice of the four brothers, erected in 1734.
In 1896 it was replaced by the memorial which is still visible — a white travertine pedestal with a bronze sculpture of a lion crushing a Turkish battle flag. The pedestal bears a Latin inscription that reads: “Hold on, traveller, and read!“.
