Review:

Located well off the tourist radar, in the north-eastern corner of Hungary, the small provincial town of Nyirbator is well worth a visit for anyone interested in catching a glimpse of what life was like on the east of the Iron Curtain. Many visitors will arrive expecting to find a bleak and featureless town, but this is far from the truth; history and architecture lovers will find plenty of interest in this town. You can learn about the region’s Bathori family when you visit Bathori Castle, which was originally built in the 14th century and completely rebuilt in 2006. There are several other interesting buildings to admire including the Gothic-era Calvinist Church and the wooden belfry which was built in the Renaissance Style.
