Sóstó Open Air Museum
Peek into the life of an old village in the Sóstó Open Air Museum.
Hungary’s biggest regional open air museum presents a counterpart of a village that actually never existed. The open air museum takes back to a 19th century village environment where you can see how poor and middle-class peasants, as well as members of the lower nobility lived in those times, how they worked, what they ate and what traditions they had.
Churches in Nyíregyháza
Five churches of five grand denominations – all this in walking distance in the wonderful inner city of Nyíregyháza!
Amid the everyday rush we often fail to realise that each day we pass by the churches of many religions, significant not only for their religious but also their artistic and aesthetic values, and their role played in the city’s history. They tell us about the history of the old city, its population, and we can admire the thousands of tiny details their creators provided them with.
Móricz Zsigmond Theatre
A theatre built with community collaboration
The strollers played in a summer ‘arena’ built of planks for two decades, until the theatre-loving people of Nyíregyháza decided that they finally wanted to have a stone theatre. Led by royal notary public Gyula Somogyi, the people joined forces with the city’s leaders and, as a result, the awaited theatre had been constructed by 1894 according to the plans of Ignác Alpár. There was also a fly in the ointment, as the designer provided the city with the drawings of a theatre that was originally prepared for a city on the seaside, and for a few years they could not use it during the winter due to the absence of heating equipment.
