## What Kossuth tér 6–7 is (verified building context)

If you navigate to Kossuth tér 6 in Kecskemét, you are on the frontage associated with the Kossuth tér 6–7 block documented as:
– Address: Kossuth tér 6–7
– Recorded GPS: 46.908235, 19.691587 (note this differs slightly from the provided coordinates)
– Present-day designation: apartment building with shops on the ground floor
– Design/build years: 1965–1968
– Architect / office: Neuhauser László (Bács megyei Tanácsi Tervező Vállalat)

That makes Kossuth tér 6 a plausible spot for a micro-attraction (plaque, small installation, mapped point) because it sits on a heavily trafficked edge of the city’s main square zone rather than inside a gated compound.

## Verified landmarks within Kossuth tér’s core

Even if your goal is specifically “Kecskemét második Vers-fája,” the surrounding square is densely landmarked, and those landmarks are well documented.

### Kecskemét City Hall (Városháza)
Kecskemét’s official city site describes the City Hall as:
– Built 1893–1897 based on plans by Lechner Ödön and Pártos Gyula
– A stylistically mixed building associated with Hungarian secession / Art Nouveau influences
– Noted for extensive use of Zsolnay ceramics (roof tiles and decorative elements)
– Interior decoration credited (on the same official page) to major artists, including named contributors for wall painting, stained glass, and murals

This matters because the City Hall is repeatedly used as a reference point in official and travel descriptions of Kossuth tér and its immediate surroundings.

### Nagytemplom / Öregtemplom (Great Church)
Kecskemét’s official city site describes the Roman Catholic Nagytemplom as:
– The region’s largest classicizing late Baroque / copf style church
– A major defining element of the city’s skyline due to its single large tower
– Home to a tower clock mechanism the site dates to 1889, and the page characterizes it as among the country’s oldest still operating clocks and the largest-dial tower clock in Hungary

The parish site adds architectural context and build period:
– Built 1774–1806 to plans by Oswald Gáspár

### Kossuth Lajos statue on Kossuth tér
A national archive photo record describes:
– A Kossuth statue on Kossuth tér in Kecskemét
– Created by Telcs Ede in 1906
– Stone pedestal designed by Tőry Emil

(Separate local listings and sculpture databases also attribute the statue to Telcs Ede and the pedestal to Tőry Emil, but the national archive record is sufficient for those core facts.)

### Kossuth tér as a connected main-square zone
A Kecskemét program listing describes Kossuth tér as part of a linked set of central squares and explicitly frames it as a core public space alongside major buildings (including City Hall and the Great Church).

## What isn’t publicly documented about “második Vers-fája”

Using web sources retrieved for Kossuth tér, Kossuth tér 6–7, and major adjacent landmarks, I did not find a source that:
– explains what “Kecskemét második Vers-fája” is (object type, installation description, plaque text, artist, or inauguration date),
– confirms it as an official named monument at Kossuth tér 6, or
– provides operating details (hours, seasonal presence, guided interpretation, ticketing).

What is verifiable from the sources above is that:
– Kossuth tér 6–7 is a documented address line and building frontage in the square area, and
– the immediate area contains major, well-described civic and religious landmarks on Kossuth tér and the connected main-square zone.

## Data freshness and accuracy flags (based on sources)
– The City Hall details (architects, build years, materials, named interior artists) come from Kecskemét’s official city website; those are strong-source claims, but public pages can be edited over time.
– The Nagytemplom clock claims (dated 1889; “largest dial” characterization) are stated on Kecskemét’s official city site; treat those as official assertions unless independently re-verified.
– The Kossuth statue authorship/date/pedestal designer are corroborated by a national archive record tied to a specific photo entry.
