Discover Nagykőrös

Nagykőrös brings together a range of travel interests: sacred architectural history, the Arany János Collection and animal experiences at Richter Safari Park. Cultural attractions include the Reformed Church, the synagogue and the Arany János Közérdekű Muzeális Gyűjtemény; the park offers a variety of activities with animals. Culture and park activities therefore appeal to different interests: historic buildings and collections are complemented by up-close encounters with animals. When looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether you are more interested in architectural history, Arany János or activities at the safari park.

Sacred architectural history in Nagykőrös

The Reformed congregation in Nagykőrös was founded in 1545. The present-day appearance of the Reformed Church is a separate matter: it dates to a 1907 renovation, when a new tower roof was added and the west façade was refurbished. A tower roof is the upper, roof-like part of a church tower; together with the façade, this detail points to work carried out both on the tower and on the exterior of the building. The synagogue was built in 1925. The dates are therefore clearly distinguished: 1545 marks the founding of the congregation, 1907 the church renovation and 1925 the construction of the synagogue.

Arany János and the memorial site

The Arany János Közérdekű Muzeális Gyűjtemény brings together several cultural themes. It is housed in a listed building that is also a historic memorial site connected with the events of 1848. The Arany János Collection is unique in Hungary; the archival holdings relating to Arany János include manuscripts and letters. The listed building and its connection to 1848 provide the historical context, while the manuscripts and letters give a concrete sense of the written collection.

Animal experiences at Richter Safari Park

Activities at Richter Safari Park vary in how you get around and which animals you see. You can explore the MiniZoo on foot; in the petting area, you can feed and stroke animals native to Hungary. This format combines a walk with direct contact with animals. On the predator safari, you travel in suitable vehicles among the big cats and can view them up close. The Majomtúra takes you to the baboons in a suitable caged vehicle, where you can also see them from close range. The two rides differ in the animals they focus on; the caged vehicle is an additional part of the Majomtúra experience. When deciding between the options, the animal species are not the only consideration—the format matters too: a walk on foot or one of the rides. Activity conditions may change; check the current conditions before your visit.
