The vil­lage of Csomor­kány was de­vas­ta­ted by the Turks in the 1500s. Its only sur­vi­ving mo­nu­ment are the ruins of its church. The me­mo­ri­al tower is a sign sho­wing the di­rec­ti­on in the wil­der­ness and a tri­bu­te to the old church tower aimed at sym­bo­li­sing the no­ti­on of be­long­ing to­get­her. The vie­wing struc­tu­re is made up of three spi­ral sta­ir­cas­es, each with a se­pa­ra­te axis. The gra­da­ti­on and frag­men­ted cha­rac­ter of both the tower and the sta­ir­cas­es evoke the church’s brick walls.
