Mezőkovácsháza

Mezőkovácsháza, located in the heart of southern Békés County, boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage. The town's origins trace back to the Árpád era, as evidenced by archaeological findings in the area. During the Middle Ages, a former monastery and the village, destroyed during the Ottoman period, laid the foundations of its present-day character. In the 19th century, the construction of the railway spurred the town's development, establishing Mezőkovácsháza as the economic hub of the region. The neoclassical Batthyány Mansion and the nationally renowned Kossuth Statue reflect the area’s noble cultural history. Nearby nature reserves, such as Kis-Sárrét, offer breathtaking landscapes for visitors to explore. Today, Mezőkovácsháza is a meeting point of tradition and modernity, where the echoes of the past and the warmth of local hospitality make every visit truly special.
