Geist Promenade and Families' Island The Varrodai Lake is located in the heart of Kondoros, making it a popular spot for evening strolls. Joggers, cyclists, and dog walkers often enjoy circling it. On one side, it is bordered by the Petőfi István Primary School and Dormitory, making it a convenient and pleasant venue for school children's day and parent-organised children's events. On the other side, it is bordered by the Betyár Adventure Playground along with the outdoor sports park, making it a favourite spot for all age groups in the town. On summer evenings, fishing along its banks is a common sight. Additionally, it is situated near several popular attractions, such as the Slovak-Hungarian Landscape and Creative House, the Kondorosi Inn, and the Town Hall. A particularly significant part of the lake is the promenade and Families' Island, which is a very popular venue for outdoor weddings and also hosts film screenings. In winter, when the lake's ice is thick enough, it becomes a beloved spot for ice skaters. The lake features flora similar to that of the Great Plain's irrigation canals and has been planted with water lilies. It is home to numerous fish species and serves as a natural nesting site for wild ducks. Grey herons and storks have also been spotted along its shores. Magyarország, 5553 Kondoros, Tóparti köz

Granary Designed by Miklós Ybl The Granary is a historic building constructed in 1863. It is an outstanding industrial and architectural monument of the village, built based on the designs of Miklós Ybl for the former Wenckheim estate. This granary is a true forerunner of modern architectural endeavours. The building has a T-shaped floor plan, is three storeys high, and features a closed block structure with simple recessed Gothic-style windows. Between the windows are vertical pilasters running upwards, with a cornice above the second floor. The openings on the third floor crown the building like pearls, which is topped with a low gable roof. The block is connected to the adjacent drying tower by a single arched opening up to the second floor. This served as a covered passageway for transport carts. The larger rectangular section was suitable for grain storage on three levels and functioned as the granary. Perpendicular to this wing is the silo section, which is also three storeys high. It features a semicircular vault in the middle, and on the right side was the drying silo. In 1985, the roof, which had been severely damaged by a storm, was restored, but no further work was carried out. Until 1944, the granary was used by the estate and later by the Agricultural Cooperative, followed by the Békés County Grain Trading and Milling Company. In 1962, the Petőfi Agricultural Cooperative of Doboz purchased the building. The cooperative's management, recognising the rapid deterioration of the structure, planned its renovation but was unable to secure the necessary funds. Despite its significantly deteriorated condition today, the granary is still considered an agricultural heritage site. It is currently in private ownership. Magyarország, 5624 Doboz, Magtár sor

Herculaneum Herculaneum (in Italian, Ercolano) is one of the most remarkably preserved urban archaeological sites of the ancient Roman Empire. Located in the Bay of Naples, at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, the town was buried by the volcanic eruption of AD 79, the same disaster that destroyed Pompeii. However, the two sites offer distinct experiences: Herculaneum is smaller in scale, with a more compact urban layout, and features preservation phenomena that are rare in Mediterranean archaeology.

Folk House The masterpieces of folk architecture can still be found in Biharugra today. Two thatched houses, each over two hundred years old, stand in the middle and at the far end of the main street named after Queen Elisabeth. The former now functions as a folk house. The 100-square-metre building was constructed in several stages and is a typical peasant house. Initially, it was most likely a three-part building with a room, kitchen, and pantry-chamber layout. Later, a separate outbuilding was added as a stable, and subsequently, the space between the two buildings was enclosed. An external pantry was added in this section. The building is a traditional adobe-walled, thatched-roof dwelling with a rammed earth foundation. The living area features ceilings made of wooden beams, covered with clay from below and thatched with reeds on top. The roof structure, as seen from the street, is a small, hipped gable roof. Inside the house, a furnace and a built-in stove were also constructed. By 2010, the building was in a severely deteriorated condition when it was acquired by the local council. By this time, the damage was so extensive that renovation became unavoidable. During the restoration, the entire roof covering, damaged ceilings, and walls were repaired. Additionally, the façade windows and doors were restored, rainwater drainage was installed, the surroundings of the house were tidied up, and a woven wattle fence was created along the street front. As one of the oldest residential buildings in Biharugra, the locals preserve it as a historical monument and value, and it also enjoys local protection. Today, the local council presents the building as a folk house to visitors. Magyarország, 5538 Biharugra, Erzsébet utca 130 -
