Acropolis The Acropolis of Athens is not just a collection of ruins but a cornerstone of Western architecture and urban culture: a sacred space built on a rocky ridge that served as the religious, political, and symbolic centre of the city for centuries. The majority of the remains visible today date back to the 5th century BC, during the rebuilding period after the Persian Wars, when Athens, under Pericles, became the dominant power of the Greek world. Its outstanding universal value is recognised by UNESCO: the Acropolis is a World Heritage Site and one of the most complete surviving examples of ancient Greek monumental complexes.

Apor Bastion Towering above Băile Tușnad, on the slopes of Szurdok-tető, stands the picturesque Apor Bastion, which serves not only as a lookout point but also as a cultural landmark, playing an important role in the life of the region. Built in 1883, at the end of the 19th century, the structure was realised at the initiative of Baron Károly Apor, with the aim of providing a resting and viewing point for spa visitors – thus, the bastion never served a military purpose.

Bodrog river - a Living River, Floodplain Heritage and Sustainable Water-Based Experiences The Bodrog river is one of the most distinctive floodplain rivers of the Carpathian Basin, shaping the everyday life of communities along its banks for centuries. Settlement patterns, transport routes and traditional livelihoods have long adapted to the river’s water regime: older village centres were typically established on higher ground to avoid floods, while floodplain meadows, gallery forests and oxbow lakes formed a diverse and dynamic landscape closer to the river. The Bodrog represented not only a challenge, but also a vital resource. Its fish-rich waters, riverside orchards and meadows, and its humid microclimate contributed to local livelihoods and, in several areas, indirectly supported the unique climatic conditions of the Tokaj wine region.

Corvus-Kora Róbert Corvus-Kora Róbert has lived and worked in Lőkösháza since his childhood. His first major success came at the age of 16 in Budapest, where one of his paintings was awarded a certificate. He was greatly influenced by Renaissance art and 17th-century Dutch artists, aspiring to paint in their style. He has created several public sculptures and monuments from marble and limestone. Always passionate about monumental, life-sized depictions, he decided to paint his first 9x4.5-metre panoramic painting for the Hungarian Millennium in 1996. A total of nine panoramic paintings have been completed. His future plan is to create another 9x4.5-metre painting and build a circular hall to house the artworks. The building will be unique in the world, as no such circular hall exists that contains ten panoramic paintings, each exploring a different theme. The artist regularly supports Lőkösháza. His works adorn the public spaces and interiors of the village, such as the St. Stephen statue, the cross in front of the church, the Trianon memorial, and the monument commemorating the 1956 Revolution and War of Independence. He has also erected statues in memory of Jenő Gávai Gaál and Tibor Frigyes Májer. The columbarium wall and the crucifix in the local cemetery are also his contributions. His paintings decorate the Community Centre and the Mayor's Office. His ninth panoramic painting can be viewed at the Petőfi Sándor Community Centre in Lőkösháza by prior arrangement. Appointments can be made with the artist for guided tours.

Exaltation of the Holy Cross Catholic Church and Crypt Behind the former castle, surrounded by a branch of the Dead Black Körös River, lies a 3.7-hectare castle park, designed by the Wenckheim family in the 1880s. At the highest point of the park stands the neo-Romanesque-style Holy Cross Chapel and Crypt, often referred to as the 'jewel box' of the area. In 1902, Count Dénes built the neo-Romanesque patronal church and the round cemetery chapel, the crypt, based on plans by Viktor Siedek, a Viennese architect. The chapel cost 250,000 crowns. The foundation of the church was dug out in just one week in 1857 by local labourers from Doboz. The buildings were consecrated on 7 June 1902 by Bishop Lőrinc Schlauch of Várad. According to contemporary accounts, at the Gerla bridge, a hundred horsemen welcomed the bishop performing the consecration, escorting him to the church entrance. For the celebratory lunch following the consecration, 800 meal tickets were distributed among the construction workers. The interior is richly decorated, with every column and staircase in the church made of marble. The colourful windows, the three altarpieces, and the ceiling paintings, featuring mosaics covered with 24-carat gold leaf, were created by Tyrolean artists. The church and its associated family crypt can be visited by prior arrangement.

A few decades later, in 1786, 256 Jewish inhabitants were recorded in the settlement, in 65 households.

The church symbolises the shared strength and faith of the four surrounding villages – it was a joint creation of the residents of Cârța, Jenőfalva, Dánfalva, and Madaras. The gate tower and the four-storey bell tower were built in the 15th–16th centuries and later heightened. The church interior was later remodelled in Baroque style, but the Gothic sanctuary has been preserved.

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.

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.

Hollókő Castle Hollókő Castle, rising among the hills of the Cserhát, is one of the country's most iconic medieval fortresses. Its construction began in the late 13th century, shortly after the Mongol invasion, thanks to the Kacsics clan. The primary purpose of the fortress was to protect the surrounding area and important trade routes. Over the centuries, ownership of the castle changed frequently: it was held by Máté Csák, Charles Robert, and later the Szécsényi family. During the Ottoman occupation, it served as a strategic border fortress, changing hands multiple times until the early 18th century, when, like many other Hungarian castles, it was partially demolished by order of Emperor Leopold I following the Rákóczi War of Independence. Thanks to extensive reconstructions carried out in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it can now be visited in its full splendour, showcasing the everyday life of the knightly era.

József Kotroczó's Diorama Collection József Kotroczó, the creator of Hungary's smallest 'Golgotha' works, was born on 17th April 1926. According to the Ethnographic Lexicon (pages 383-384), in the 17th-18th centuries, these works held such value that they became part of heritage collections. His 'Patience Bottles' are wooden carvings built inside bottles ranging from 0.5 to 1000 ml: cross, ladder, pillar of torture, whip, spear, sword, hammer, sponge. Creating these pieces pushes the boundaries of human endurance and the impossible. The original colour of the wooden carvings is white (Canadian poplar), symbolising the purity of the soul, while the cork represents eternity. The exhibition can be viewed at the Sándor Petőfi Community Centre.

Lendava Castle Lendava Castle stands above the old part of the town on a steep hill rising amidst picturesque wine-growing hills. The castle in its current form succeeded a medieval castle that once stood on this very site. The original castle was built in the 12th century, as suggested by the frescoes in the castle chapel. Over the years, the castle underwent several transformations, particularly during the rule of the Bánffy family. During that time, the area was ravaged by Turkish invasions, but the Turks never managed to capture Lendava Castle. The castle suffered significant damage during these attacks, so in 1712, the last owners, the noble Esterházy family, restored and rebuilt it in the shape of the letter L as a gesture of gratitude to Emperor Leopold I. The castle underwent its last major renovation in the 19th century when it was thoroughly restored. Today, it houses the Lendava Gallery-Museum, established in 1973. The gallery's collection preserves the artistic heritage of Lendava's artists and a collection of artworks created during traditional international art colonies. In recent years, Lendava Castle has hosted prominent exhibitions of world-renowned art giants, including displays by Pablo Picasso, Francisco de Goya, Rembrandt, and Joan Miró.

Pál Szabó Literary Memorial House For many, Biharugra is synonymous with one of our greatest folk writers, Pál Szabó. His first piece of writing appeared in a 1927 issue of "Körösvidék", and its success inspired him to create more works. After submitting reports to "Körösvidék", his writings were published by Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky's "Előörs". His first novel, "Emberek" (People), was published in 1930 by the Sylvester Press, and shortly afterwards, Franklin Publishing also released it, with translations into foreign languages. At that time, Zsigmond Móricz already regarded him as one of the greatest promises of Hungarian literature. His books were published in numerous editions. He achieved true success with his novels, in which he brought the past of his people to life through his own experiences. Additionally, he also wrote successful film scripts. For his work, he was awarded the Baumgarten Prize in 1949, the Attila József Prize in 1950, and the Kossuth Prizes in 1951 and 1954. In his house in Biharugra, Pál Szabó transformed the veranda into his study. Whenever he was working on a major project, he always returned home to finish it. Home, to the street and the adobe house from where he once set out to reach the heights of literary life. After the writer's death in 1970, the family created a memorial room here, where they collected his cherished personal items and furniture. The Pál Szabó Literary Memorial House, founded by the writer's daughter, has been welcoming visitors since 1973, and later officially gained museum status. In 2007, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the eastern side of the building, next to the entrance, listing 42 famous and significant individuals who visited this house as Pál Szabó's guests. In the spring of 2008, the Pál Szabó Literary Memorial House was renovated, and the writer's former study and library remain open to visitors every day of the week, with knowledgeable guided tours and a warm welcome awaiting all.

Roman-era Ruin Garden In the Egregy district of Hévíz, one of the most important Roman-era discoveries of the Balaton region was unearthed: a nearly 1,000 m² stone villa built around AD 100. With its columned portico and bathing pools, it reflects the advanced bathing culture of the time. The villa and its surroundings were inhabited for centuries and, after several reconstructions, survived until the early 5th century. Excavations also revealed a Mithras sanctuary, economic buildings, and early coins – all suggesting that the Romans settled near the miraculous lake not only for economic but also for spiritual and medicinal purposes.

Samson's Castle The Árpád-era earthwork known as Samson's Castle appears on András Paulovics's 1789 map, with no earlier references in historical sources. According to a local legend, the castle's name is linked to a robber leader named Samson. During the Turkish era, this was the hideout of a robber leader named Samson, who caused significant damage to the Turks and killed many of them. He had a deep cellar underground where he stored his treasures. However, the only way to access this underground cellar was through the hollow trunk of a stunted willow tree growing on the banks of the Körös River. In 1964, Júlia Kovalovszki, an archaeologist originally from Doboz, determined the extent of the castle during her excavations. Samson's Castle consists of two parts: an inner and an outer castle. In one of her excavation trenches, Júlia Kovalovszki uncovered the remains of a gate tower, which provided passage through the rampart made of compacted earth. In 2006, an authentication archaeological excavation was carried out at the site of the gate tower under the leadership of archaeologists Dr. Mária Béres and András Liska. As a result of the excavation, previously unknown details of the gate tower documented by Júlia Kovalovszki were discovered, and data was collected about the structure of the rampart. The local population of nearby villages, particularly in the early Árpád era, may have used Samson's Castle, built in a protected nook of the Körös River, as an occasional refuge.

Flower Exhibition by Mrs Károly Kovács Made of Sugar Mrs Károly Kovács was born in 1957 in Lőkösháza, where she has lived ever since. Following in her father’s footsteps, she also became a tailor and seamstress, working in Lőkösháza. She initially created sugar flowers and decorated cakes as a hobby for her family and friends. Through this, her work came to the attention of our town’s mayor, Györgyi Szűcsné Gergely. She encouraged her to participate in the amateur cake-making competition organised by the Mihály Munkácsy Museum in Békéscsaba in 2015, where she received a special award for her cake composition titled “My Grandchild’s Tale.” Later, she completed a sugar flower-making course, where she met Master Confectioner Dr Zoltán, a member of the Békés County Culinary Team. Dr Zoltán noticed her work and, in 2016, invited her to create floral decorations for their table at the Culinary Olympics in Erfurt. Since 2016, she has been making the village day cake for Lőkösháza every year. Her exhibition can be viewed at the Sándor Petőfi Community Centre in Lőkösháza.

Sárvár Arboretum The Sárvár Arboretum is one of Hungary's oldest collections, and among the arboretums of Vas County, the earliest written records can be found in Sárvár. The predecessor of the current arboretum was established in 1546 as an orchard and vegetable garden. Gardening flourished until 1671, when Ferenc III Nádasdy, the then Chief Justice, was executed for his involvement in the Wesselényi Conspiracy, and his estates were confiscated. This led to the decline of the renowned garden, but a few fruit trees and interspersed oaks preserved the memory of its beginnings. In 1803, the castle garden came into knowledgeable hands once again. Archduke Ferdinand of Este-Modena, a member of the Habsburg family, purchased the castle along with its surrounding lands. It was a challenging yet rewarding task to recreate the old garden, which had fallen into ruin, on its original foundations. Part of the area was replanted with orchards, while the rest gradually transformed into an English-style park, preserving the ancient oaks and old trees. The plane trees from the first planting in 1812 now have trunk diameters exceeding three metres. In line with the fashion of the time, yews, Japanese pagoda trees, and limes were predominantly planted. The Gyöngyös Stream, which flows through the area, and the fishpond helped maintain a favourable climate for the park's plants and ensured a constant groundwater level.

Statue of the Shepherd Playing the Flute In the centre of the settlement, visitors are welcomed by a charming little park. At its heart stands the public statue of the 'Shepherd Playing the Flute', erected in the year 2000 by the Municipality of Doboz to honour the Millennium. This statue, made of bronze and limestone in a traditional architectural style, was the largest creation to date by sculptor Attila Mészáros. The design was inspired by the connection between Doboz and water, which has shaped the lives of its inhabitants and the history of the settlement. In the past, Doboz was almost encircled by the Black Körös River, giving it an island-like appearance. This is symbolised by the pebble-shaped base made of Süttő limestone. The shepherd playing the flute evokes the settlement's pastoral heritage.

Székely Gate and Memorial Post Our connection with Torja in Transylvania began in 1990 through correspondence with Artúr Coroi, the mayor at the time. Following the 1990 municipal elections, the relationship between the towns of Torja and Gádoros was strengthened, and the first meeting took place in Torja in April 1991. From then on, meetings became regular, occurring several times a year. In 1992, our friends from Torja performed the comedy "Open Window" at the House of Culture, and the next day they ceremoniously presented a small memorial post, handcrafted as a token of their friendship. This can be found in the park in front of the Zsigmond Justh Cultural House. For our second village day on 30 September 1995, our friends from Torja gifted the residents of Gádoros with a Székely gate. The gate was crafted by József Miholcsa, a folk woodcarving artist. At the handover ceremony, András Kováts, the Mayor of Torja, said: "Whoever walks under the Székely gate should always remember that the residents of the twin town belong to Hungary with all their heart and soul."

Dobozi Wenckheim Castle The former Wenckheim Castle now functions as the Dobozi Primary School. In 1944, the castle, which originally had 52 rooms, reached its current form in three stages. First, the hunting lodge facing the main road was completed (currently a shop is located here). The single-storey hunting lodge was built by Rudolf Wenckheim based on the plans of Antal Czigler, the estate architect from Gyula, providing a place for relaxation and hospitality after hunts. In 1850, the upper floor of the castle and its extension parallel to the main road were completed, which now form part of the Dobozi Primary School building. The building took on its "U" shape at this time, and around the same period, in 1852, the romantic-style racing stables and coach house were built based on the plans of Miklós Ybl, followed by the triumphal-arched oat silo granary. Doboz became the centre of the estate, from where the Vésztő and Csorvás properties were managed. At the beginning of the 1900s, Dénes Wenckheim constructed the turret-like, mansard-roofed, slate-covered multi-storey section in the courtyard in a historicist style. A marble staircase leads to the upper floor. From the balcony room, there was a beautiful view of the castle park. The rooms featured stunning tiled stoves matching the wall colours. In the dining room, a 4-metre-tall snow-white tiled stove was brought from Belgium. The upper floor served as the living quarters for the countess and the children. The castle was furnished in an aristocratic and sophisticated manner. On the ground floor, the large dining room, among other things, served as the venue for hunting dinners, and many famous people visited the castle during hunts, including Governor Miklós Horthy. By the 1940s, Count Lajos Wenckheim transformed the castle into a true countryside residence. The corridors' walls were adorned with a collection of hundreds of beautiful and valuable roe deer and stag antlers. The Dobozi hunting lodge was well-known in aristocratic circles. Today, the impressive building houses 9 classrooms. In 1996, the building was expanded with a new wing, which included additional classrooms. The old and new building complex now welcomes Dobozi students with a modern computer room, development room, and specialised classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards.

Wenckheim Castle Park Behind the former castle, surrounded by a branch of the Dead Black Körös River, lies a 3.7-hectare castle park, designed by the Wenckheim family in the 1880s in an English style. Its characteristic trees include pedunculate oaks, plane trees, lindens, horse chestnuts, ginkgo, and Scots pine clusters. Since 1979, the park has been a protected natural area, and the leadership of Doboz considers its rehabilitation a top priority. The park features stunning trees that are centuries old. In the picturesque English-style park, you will also find the family mausoleum and chapel (1896-1902). The park was restored in 2006, aiming to recreate its former state by planting new vegetation, creating flower beds, and replacing dead trees. This well-maintained and visually striking park is a favourite spot in the town, where both young and old enjoy strolling under the centuries-old trees and spending their leisure time. We warmly invite our guests to this marvellous natural setting, whose unique climate is shaped by the Dead Black Körös River. Four bridges lead into the park, making this natural wonder in the town centre more accessible. In the western part of the park, there is a sculpture garden paying tribute to former Hungarian kings. Walking through the park and letting your imagination wander, you can picture the everyday life of the former Wenckheim estate, as the former castle, the granary designed by Miklós Ybl, and the chapel and crypt at the park's highest point are all within 'arm's reach' of each other. If you visit Doboz, don’t miss this experience!
