Discover Orosháza: Culture, the Park Bath and Hotels

• The Evangelical Church is the city’s only protected historic building and was built between 1777 and 1830.
• The Park Bath in Gyopárosfürdő offers outdoor swimming from late spring to early autumn; check the current operating dates.
• The Kútmúzeum does not have regular opening hours. Contact the operator to arrange a visit.
• The Panoráma kilátó can only be visited during the summer bathing season and by prior arrangement; check in advance whether a visit is currently possible.

The bell that the city’s founders brought from Zomba is kept in front of the altar in the Evangelical Church. The building’s long construction period is thus linked to an object explicitly associated with the founders. The Darvas József Literary Memorial House is another cultural attraction in Orosháza.

The Városi Képtár offers a different way to explore culture: its two floors house seven permanent exhibitions open to visitors, covering a total of 583 square metres. Find out about current visiting arrangements before your visit. The Kútmúzeum includes an exhibition on the history of water. As it does not have regular opening hours, arrange your visit with the operator rather than expecting to be admitted without notice.

The Történelmi emlékpark is also a tourist attraction and a popular place to relax; it is also a sculpture park. Together, these places offer different cultural connections: from the Evangelical Church and its bell to literary commemoration, exhibitions and sculptures.

The Panoráma kilátó is a special attraction in Orosháza and Gyopárosfürdő. Visits are only available during the summer bathing season and by prior arrangement. Check in advance whether a visit is currently possible. The ground-floor exhibition covers archaeological and ethnographic aspects of the traditional way of life in Gyopárosfürdő. It features objects related to fishing, hunting, gathering, beekeeping, viticulture, and the harvesting and processing of reeds and rushes.

The Park Bath offers outdoor swimming from late spring to early autumn. Its listed facilities include a 50-metre swimming pool, a teaching pool and a beach volleyball court. These swimming and sporting opportunities are seasonal, so check the current operating dates before planning your visit. You can go boating and use pedal boats on the lake. If these activities are part of your plans, check in advance what is currently available.

The Bogárzó racecourse near Orosháza covers around 25 hectares. Its facilities include a certified 1,600-metre gallop track, as well as an obstacle course and a jumping course. These details describe the facility but do not establish a public visiting schedule. If you want to include the racecourse in your plans, check in advance whether it is open to the public.

The market is also worth a visit for a taste of local produce: vendors from Orosháza and the surrounding area sell fresh vegetables and fruit there. Availability may vary by day and season. A cheese-making workshop opened by Bertáné Székely Nóra offered guests an insight into cheese production and the chance to try it themselves. Check before making plans to see whether visits and hands-on activities are still available.
