Kunszállás: Farmhouse, Clocks and Fishing Waters

Kunszállás offers several distinct themes for a stay: a historic farmhouse with a local history and ethnographic collection, a house with a clock collection, and a leisure area with a fishing lake. These highlights appeal to different interests and give you a concrete basis for choosing a destination.

Local history in the historic farmhouse

The Gyöngyösi Mátyás Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény is housed in a renovated historic farmhouse. The building’s features include an open veranda, a stepped gable, and a carved gate. The house contains a permanent local history and ethnographic collection. The park of the Gyöngyösi Mátyás Museum also features a Székely gate and a “kunbaba” stone figure. This cultural history highlight brings together architectural features, a collection on local history and ethnographic topics, and individual features in the park. Depending on whether you are interested in the building, the collection, or the features in the park, the focus falls on a different aspect.

Clock types spanning three centuries

Órák Háza focuses on clocks. It presents an overview of general clock types from the past 300 years. The exhibition includes more than 600 clocks, most of which are in working order. The size of the collection may change; if the exact number is important to you, check the current exhibition information. In contrast to the permanent local history and ethnographic collection at the Gyöngyösi Mátyás Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény, the focus here is on a different subject: various types of clocks.

Fishing waters and leisure facilities

Cines Szabadidőközpont offers a different focus from the collections. The grounds include a fishing lake, created during reclamation in 2009 and just under one hectare in size. The year indicates the lake’s origin; the area given is approximate. The facilities also include a rain shelter and a cooking and fire area. Kunszállás’s range of themes therefore extends beyond collections and architecture to a leisure area shaped by the lake and the facilities mentioned.

More themes in the broader destination of Bács-Kiskun

The broader destination of Bács-Kiskun offers other distinct cultural and natural themes. In Tiszaalpár, the Tiszaalpár, Földvár educational trail presents the history of the Bronze Age fortified settlement of Tiszaalpári Földvár and the way of life of people in the Bronze Age. Also in Tiszaalpár, a reconstruction of an Árpád-era village, built to mark the millennium, depicts the settlement layout discovered during local excavations. In Kiskunhalas, visitors can learn about the history of Halas lace at Kiskunhalasi Csipkeház és Csipkemúzeum, admire lacework dating back centuries, and watch the lace-embroidering process; the history of the lace began in 1902. The Boróka educational trail in Bugac is 1,100 metres long and features information boards as well as interactive stations such as a forest xylophone and a play telescope. These different ways of interpretation range from Bronze Age context in Tiszaalpár and textile history in Kiskunhalas to interactive stations in Bugac.
