Beregszász Coat of Arms

The town on the Vérke Brook was, according to the tradition, established by Prince Lambert, the son of King Béla I of Hungary. He also gave the first name of the settlement. King Louis I of Hungary granted it the status of free royal town. His Polish mother, Łokietek Erzsébet, fell in love with the town, and it became one of her favorite places of residence. The area later became a collision zone between the Habsburg-ruled Kingdom of Hungary and the Principality of Transylvania, considered to be the strongest bastion of Hungarian independence. The town changed hands several times, and the palace in the town was also built by Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania. The Hungarian War of Independence led by Rákóczi Ferenc II started in Bereg County in 1703, and with its fall in 1711 Beregszász was labelled rebellious and was deprived of its town status. Its inhabitants also fought heroically during the the War of Independence in 1848-49. Following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, Beregszász became the seat of Bereg County. It underwent an industrial development starting from the late 19th century, which was ended by the annexation of the Hungarian town by Czechoslovakia in 1920, when it was again deprived of its town status. Beregszász became the cultural center of the Hungarians living in Subcarpathia. Despite the persecutions and the deportation in 1944, the town did not lose its Hungarian majority, unlike the other Subcarpathian towns. Today, Beregszász is the seat of the Hungarian College in Subcarpathia and the Museum of Bereg and boasts several beautiful monuments.

The alliance of the seven Hungarian tribes took possession of the then largely uninhabited Carpathian Basin. Until then, the sparse Slavic population of the north-western Carpathians had lived under Moravian rule for a few decades after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate in the early 9th century.
9th century
There was a Hungarian encampment here.

Foundation of the Hungarian Kingdom
Little more...
1000
The Kingdom of Hungary was established with the coronation of King Stephen I. He converted the Hungarians to Christianity and created two archdioceses (Esztergom and Kalocsa) and ten dioceses. He divided Hungary into counties led by ispáns, who were appointed by the king.
1000
The neighboring castle of Borsova became the seat of Borsova County, which the land belonged to after the foundation of the Kingdom of Hungary.
1048
This part of Hungary became the property of Prince Béla, the younger brother of King Andrew I.
1063
After the death of King Béla I, his lands were divided between his sons, Géza, László and Lampert. The land of today's Beregszász was part of the share of Prince Lampert. He established the settlement here according to the tradition, and it also got its name from him as Villa Lamperti, later Lampertháza, Lampertszász, Lamprechtszász, Luprechtháza, Luprechaza. The people of Beregszász consider 1095-96 as the year of the foundation.
1141
The eleven years-old Géza II became the Hungarian king and the ruler of the land, which had already got nearly completely uninhabited due to the frequent raids of the Cumans. Queen Ilona, who were ruling instead of the child king, and his brother bán Belos settled down Saxons from the Rhine region. The settlement was called henceforth Szász, Lampertszász, Lamprechtszász and also Lampertház. The Saxons brought viticulture to the area and started mining gold on the nearby hill (Nagy-hegy). Some of their former tunnels can still be seen.
1241-1242
Mongol Invasion
Little more...
1241-1242
The hordes of the Mongol Empire invaded Hungary and almost completely destroyed it. One third to one half of the population was destroyed. The Mongols also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Muhi and they could not hunt down the king. After their withdrawal, King Béla IV reorganized Hungary. He allowed the feudal lords to build stone castles because they were able to successfully resist the nomadic Mongols. The vast majority of stone castles were built after this. The king called in German, Vlach (Romanian) and Slavic settlers to replace the destroyed population.
1241
The settlement was completely destroyed in the Mongol Invasion, but it was repopulated by King Béla IV of Hungary. Bereg County was created after the invasion from part of the former Borsova County. The seat of the county was at that time the castle of Munkács.
1247
King Béla IV of Hungary granted the town privileges and right to hold fairs. The privileges were reaffirmed by King Stephen V in 1271 and by King Charles I in 1320.
1284
The town was mentioned for the first time by the name Beregzaza. Its name comes from the Hungarian noun 'berek' (meaning grove), its suffix refers to the former Saxon inhabitants. The Ukrainian name comes from the Hungarian.

The extinction of the House of Árpád
Little more...
1301
The House of Árpád, the first Hungarian royal dynasty, died out with the death of King Andrew III. Hungary was ruled by oligarchs, the most powerful of whom was Csák Máté, whose main ally was the Aba family. King Charles I (1308-1342), supported by the Pope, eventually emerged as the most prominent of the contenders for the Hungarian throne. But it took decades to break the power of the oligarchs.
September 2, 1342
King Louis I of Hungary granted Beregszász the status of free royal town and also high justice (right to impose capital punishment). These privileges were later reaffirmed by King Sigismund in 1419, by Queen Mary in 1524 and by King Ferdinand I in 1548. King Louis I, and especially his mother Łokietek Erzsébet fell in love with the town and supported it financially. Queen Elizabeth also had a mansion house in the town and spent the summer there frequently. The reconstruction of the Catholic church, which was destroyed by the Mongols, could be started from her donation.
1370
Queen Elizabeth founded a Dominican monastery in the town.
1377
Queen Elizabeth founded a Franciscan monastery in the town.

Sultan Suleiman I launched a war against Vienna, instigated by the French. Ferdinand I, Duke of Austria, was the brother-in-law of King Louis II of Hungary. The army of the Ottoman Empire defeated the much smaller Hungarian army at Mohács, and King Louis II died in the battle. A group of the barons elected Ferdinand I of the House of Habsburg to the throne, who promised to defend Hungary from the Turks. He was the younger brother of the most powerful European monarch Emperor Charles V. But the nobility chose the most powerful Hungarian baron, Szapolyai János, who was also crowned as King John I. The country was split in two and a decades-long struggle for power began.

Little more...
1541
The Turks conquered Buda, the capital of Hungary, after the death of King John I. The central part of the country was under Turkish rule for 150 years. The western and northern parts (including present-day Slovakia) formed the Kingdom of Hungary ruled by the Habsburg emperors. The eastern parts (now mainly under Romanian rule) were ruled by the successors of King John I of Hungary, who later established the Principality of Transylvania.
1548
The Reformation arrived in the town.

This formally created the Principality of Transylvania, which was the eastern half of Hungary not ruled by the Habsburgs and was also a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. John II died in 1571, after which the three nations of Transylvania (the Hungarian nobility, the Székelys and the Saxons) elected the prince.
1570
According to the Treaty of Speyer, Ung, Bereg and Ugocsa counties came under control of the Kingdom of Hungary (Habsburg ruled part of Hungary), while Máramaros County became part of Principality of Transylvania (the former kingdom of King John II of Hungary).

1591-1606
The Ottoman Empire started a war against the Habsburg Empire. The war was waged in the territory of Hungary. The Turks defeated the combined armies of the Habsburg Empire and the Principality of Transylvania in the battle of Mezőkeresztes in 1596, but their victory was not decisive.

1604-1606
The alliance of the Habsburgs and the Principality of Transylvania was defeated by the Ottoman Empire in the Fifteen Years' War. The war devastated Transylvania, which was occupied by the Habsburg imperial army, and General Basta introduced a reign of terror. The nobility and the burghers were upset about the terror, the plundering mercenaries and the violent Counter-Reformation. Bocskai István decided to lead their uprising after the Habsburg emperor tried to confiscate his estates. Bocskai also rallied the hajdú warriors to his side. He was elected Prince of Transylvania and soon liberated the Kingdom of Hungary from the Habsburgs. In 1605 Bocskai István was crowned King of Hungary with the crown he received from the Turks.
1606
According to the Peace of Vienna, Bereg County, including Beregszász, became part of the Principality of Transylvania. But Prince Bocskai István died the same year (he was presumably poisoned) and, as he had no son, Bereg County returned to the Hungarian crown under the terms of the peace treaty.

Little more...
1619
At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania went to war against the Habsburg emperor as an ally of the rebelling Czech-Moravian-Austrian estates. The whole Kingdom of Hungary joined him, only the Austrian defenders of Pozsony had to be put to the sword. With his allies, he laid siege to Vienna. However, he was forced to abandon the siege because the Habsburg-loyal Hungarian aristocrat Homonnai Drugeth György attacked his heartland with Polish mercenaries. On 25 August 1620, the Diet of Besztercebánya elected Bethlen Gábor King of Hungary as vassal of the Turks. He continued to fight after the defeat of the Czechs at White Mountain on 8 November 1620, but without real chance to achieve decisive victory, he decided to come to an agreement with Emperor Ferdinand II.

Victory over the Turks at Szentgotthárd and the shameful Peace of Vasvár
Little more...
1664
The imperial army achieved a significant victory over the Turks at the battle of Szentgotthárd. Despite this, Emperor Leopold I concluded a 20-year peace treaty with the Turks at Vasvár on terms that made it look as if the Turks had won. This caused a huge outcry in Europe and among the Hungarian nobility, who expected the country to be liberated after the victory. The formerly Habsburg-loyal Catholic Hungarian barons began to plot against the Emperor with the leadership of Wesselényi Ferenc. In 1668, at the end of the Franco-Spanish War, King Louis XIV of France withdrew his support for the conspiracy, and the support of the Turks was not obtained.

Kuruc Movement

after 1671
Many noble, burgher and preacher fled to the Principality of Transylvania and the territory under Turkish occupation from the reprisals after the exposure of the anti-Habsburg Wesselényi-conspiracy and from the violent Counter-Reformation. They were joined by dismissed Hungarian soldiers of the Turkish border forts, who were replaced by German mercenaries. They were called the fugitives (bujdosók). They started an armed movement against the Habsburg rule. Because of the Turkish ban, the Principality of Transylvania could not openly support them. From 1677, the French supported their cause with money and Polish mercenaries. They achieved their first serious success when they temporarily occupied the mining towns of northern Hungary (now central Slovakia) under the command of Thököly lmre. He then became the sole leader of the movement. In 1679, the French made peace with Emperor Leopold I and withdrew their support for the fugitives. Between 1678 and 1681 Thököly Imre led successful raids against the Habsburgs and their supporters in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary. The insurgents were called kurucs.

1683
The combined armies of the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Poland defeated the Turkish army besieging Vienna. Emperor Leopold I wanted to make peace with the Turks, but was refused by Sultan Mehmed IV. In 1684, at the persistent urging of Pope Innocent XI, the Holy League, an alliance of the Kingdom of Poland, the Habsburg Empire, the Republic of Venice and the Papal States, was formed to expel the Turks from Hungary. Thököly Imre, who had allied himself with the Turks, was gradually driven out of northern Hungary.

The Turkish captivity of Thököly Imre and the fall of the kuruc movement
Little more...
1685
The Pasha of Várad captured Thököly Imre as he was asking for Turkish help and offered him to Emperor Leopold I for peace. But the Imperial emissaries laughed at his face, because, having the upper hand, they no longer cared for Thököly. On the news of his capture, the town of Kassa and the kuruc strongholds surrendered to the Emperor one after the other. The Turks, seeing their fatal mistake, released Thököly the following year and tried to restore his authority, but his power was broken forever and the Hungarian insurgents no longer trusted the Turks. Most of the insurgents joined the imperial army and helped to liberate the rest of Hungary from the Turks.
1680
After the death of Báthory Zsófia, her daughter-in-law Zrínyi Ilona became the owner of Beregszász.

Recapture of Buda and the liberation of Hungary from the Turks
Little more...
1686
The army of the Holy League recaptured Buda from the Turks by siege. In 1687, the Imperial army invaded the Principality of Transylvania. The liberation was hindered by the French breaking their promise of peace in 1688 and attacking the Habsburg Empire. By 1699, when the Peace of Karlóca was signed, all of Hungary and Croatia had been liberated from the Ottoman Empire with the exception of Temesköz, the area bounded by the Maros, the Tisza and the Danube rivers. It was not until the Peace of Požarevac in 1718 that Temesköz was liberated from the Turks. However, the continuous war against the Turkish invaders and the Habsburg autocracy, which lasted for more than 150 years, wiped out large areas of the Hungarian population, which had previously made up 80% of the country's population, and was replaced by Vlachs (Romanians), Serbs and other Slavic settlers and Germans. The Habsburgs also favoured the settlement of these foreign peoples over the 'rebellious' Hungarians.
January 17, 1688
Zrínyi Ilona had to give up Munkács Castle in exchange for amnesty. Her family recovered all their fortunes and estates, but they were transported to Vienna.
1703-1711
Hungarian War of Independence led by Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II
Little more...
1703-1711
After the expulsion of the Turks, the Habsburgs treated Hungary as a newly conquered province and did not respect its constitution. The serfs rose up against the Habsburg ruler because of the sufferings caused by the war and the heavy burdens, and they invited Rákóczi Ferenc II to lead them. Trusting in the help promised by King Louis XIV of France, he accepted. Rákóczi rallied the nobility to his side, and soon most of the country was under his control. The rebels were called the kurucs. In 1704, the French and the Bavarians were defeated at the Battle of Blenheim, depriving the Hungarians of their international allies. The Rusyn, Slovak and Vlach peasants and the Saxons of Szepes supported the fight for freedom, while the Serbs in the south and the Saxons in Transylvania served the Habsburgs. Due to lack of funds Rákóczi could not raise a strong regular army, and in 1710, Hungary was also hit by a severe plague. Rákóczi tried unsuccessfully to forge an alliance with Tsar Peter the Great of Russia. In his absence, without his knowledge, his commander-in-chief, Károlyi Sándor, accepted Emperor Joseph I's peace offer. The Peace of Szatmár formally restored the Hungarian constitution and religious freedom and granted amnesty, but did not ease the burden of serfdom. Rákóczi refused to accept the pardon and went into exile. He died in Rodosto, Turkey.
Spring 1703
The insurgents hiding in the woods of Bereg County led by Esze Tamás and Kis Albert sent emissaries to Berezhany in Poland, where Rákóczi Ferenc II and Bercsényi Miklós found refuge from the Habsburg emperor. At the end of May Rákóczi handed over to Esze Tamás his proclamation for insurrection and the flags of the war of independence. Esze Tamás arrived in Vári on 21th of May. He occupied the ferries on the Tisza River, read the proclamation aloud at the village gathering and - against the order of Rákóczi - unfurled the flags.
May 22, 1703
The insurgents arrived in Beregszász. A fair was being held in the town, so a lot of people gathered together. Esze Tamás unfurled the flags of the war of independence again and read Rákóczi's proclamation loud. A marble plaque was placed on the wall of the post office on the Rákóczi Square in memory of this event in 1992. The news spread fast, just as the number of the insurgents.
June 7, 1703
The insurgents were crushed at Dolha by the united armies of Károlyi Sándor, ispán of Szatmár, and Csáky István, ispán of Bereg-Ugocsa. Rákóczi Ferenc II had not joined the war yer, as he was waiting for French subsidy to be able to recruit mercenaries.
July 9, 1703
The army if Rákóczi arrived in Beregszász, crushed the Imperial garrison and drove them back to the Tisza River. Nearly the entire Bereg County came under his control.
December 21, 1705
Rákóczi issued his proclamation here, in which he called everyone who values the homeland and liberty to join the uprising. This event is commemorated by a plaque on the wall of the Bethlen Mansion unveiled in 1996.
1711
After the fall of the War of Independence, Bereg County and Beregszász were labelled rebellious, and the settlement was deprived of its town status.
1717
The Tatars broke into the area again and wreaked havoc in Beregszász.
1726
Emperor Charles III gave Beregszász to Schönborn Lothár Ferenc as part of the lordship of Munkács. The Schönborn family owned the estate until 1944. The new lords imposed great burdens on Beregszász but they also greatly improved agriculture and wine-making.
1739
Fire devastated the town.
1742
The population was decimated by the plague. More than 300 people died and their houses were occupied by German settlers in 1749.
1848-1849
Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
Little more...
1848-1849
Following the news of the Paris Revolution on 22 February 1848, the Hungarian liberal opposition led by Kossuth Lajos demanded the abolition of serfdom, the abolition of the tax exemption of the nobility, a parliament elected by the people, and an independent and accountable national government. The revolution that broke out in Pest on 15 March expressed its demands in 12 points, which, in addition to the above mentioned, included the freedom of the press, equality before the law, the release of the political prisoners and the union with Transylvania. A Hungarian government was formed, Batthyány Lajos became prime minister, and on 11 April Emperor Ferdinand V ratified the reform laws. On August 31 the Emperor demanded the repeal of the laws threatening with military intervention. In September the Emperor unleashed the army of Jelacic, Ban of Croatia, on Hungary, but they were defeated by the Hungarians in the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. An open war began for the independence of Hungary. The Habsburgs incited the nationalities against the Hungarians. The Rusyns, the Slovenes and most of the Slovaks and Germans supported the cause persistently, but the Vlachs (Romanians) and the Serbians turned against the Hungarians. The glorious Spring Campaign in 1849 led by General Görgei Artúr liberated almost all of Hungary. On 1 May 1849, Emperor Franz Joseph, effectively admitting defeat, asked for the help of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who sent an intervention army of 200,000 soldiers against Hungary. The resistance became hopeless against the overwhelming enemy forces and on 13 August Görgei Artúr surrendered to the Russians at Világos. Bloody reprisals followed, and on 6 October 1849, 12 generals and a colonel of the Hungarian Revolution, the martyrs of Arad, were executed in Arad. On the same day, Batthyány Lajos, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, was executed by firing squad in Pest. The Habsburgs introduced total authoritarianism in Hungary, but they also failed to fulfil their promises to the nationalities that had betrayed the Hungarians.
1848-1849
The population of present-day Subcarpathia, including the Rusyn minority, fought on the side of the Hungarian War of Independence.
June 4, 1848
The national guard was set up in Beregszász as well.
April 22, 1849
General Barko's Austrian army broke into Hungary from Galicia through the Pass of Verecke.

The people of Beregszász also took part in the victorious battle.
August 2, 1849
Beregszász surrendered to the Russian intervestion army coming to the aid of the loosing Habsburgs. The years of retaliation followed the fall of the War of Independence.
1867
Austro-Hungarian Compromise
Little more...
1867
The Habsburg Empire was weakened by the defeats it suffered in the implementation of Italian and German unity. The Hungarians wanted to return to the reform laws of 1848, but they did not have the strength to do so. Emperor Franz Joseph and the Hungarian opposition, led by Deák Ferenc, finally agreed to restructure the Empire and abolish absolutism. Hungary was given autonomy in its internal affairs, with its own government and parliament, which was essential for the development of its economy and culture. However, foreign and military affairs remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and served their aspiration for becoming a great power. The majority wanted Hungary's independence, but they were excluded from political power.
1867
After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise Beregszász became the seat of Bereg County until 1918.
1872

November 1918 - January 1919
In Hungary, the freemasonic subversion brought the pro-Entente Károlyi Mihály to power. The new government, naively trusting the Entente powers, met all their demands and disbanded the Hungarian military, which rendered the country completely defenseless in the most dire need. Under French and Italian command, Czech, Romanian and Serbian troops invaded large parts of Hungary, where they immediately began the takeover. They fired Hungarian railway workers, officials and teachers, banned the use of the Hungarian language, abolished Hungarian education, and disposed of everything that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians were forced to leave their homeland, and the forcible assimilation of the remaining Hungarians was begun.

21 March - 1 August 1919
After the Entente put vast areas with a Hungarian population under foreign administration, the pro-Entente government resigned and the traitorous Prime Minister Károlyi Mihály handed over power to the communists, who had little support anyway. They raised the Hungarian Red Army, which liberated large parts of northern Hungary from Czech occupation in the 'Northern Campaign'. The aim was to unite with the Russian Red Army, which ultimately failed because of the Russians' defeat. French Prime Minister Clemenceau promised the Jewish Kun Béla that he would recognise the Hungarian Soviet Republic and invite it to the peace conference if it would call back the army from northern Hungary. Calling back the army demoralized the soldiers, who fought for their homeland and not for communism. Clemenceau broke his promise and let the Romanian horde cross the Tisza River and capture Budapest.

Trianon Dictate
Little more...
4 June 1920
Hungary was forced to sign the Treaty of Trianon, although the country was not invited to the peace talks. Hungary lost two thirds of its territory that had belonged to it for more than 1000 years. One-third of the Hungarian population came under foreign rule. On the basis of the national principle, countries with a more mixed and less ethnically balanced composition than the former Hungary were created, such as Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). For example, while 48% of the population of the territory ceded to Czechoslovakia was Slovak and 30% Hungarian, 54% of the population of the former Hungary was Hungarian and 10.6% Slovak. And in the territory that is now part of Serbia, the Hungarians outnumbered the Serbs. The part of the territory allocated to Romania from Hungary was larger than the remaining territory of Hungary, despite the fact that there were 10 million Hungarians and less than 3 million Romanians in the former Hungary. While Hungary used to have the most liberal nationality policy in Europe, the successor states had no respect at all for the national and cultural rights of the indigenous Hungarians and engaged in forced assimilation. The Trianon Dictate destroyed the organic economic unity of the region. Before the First World War, Hungary had a dynamic economy, more advanced than Spain's. After 1920, the successor states formed the so-called "Little Entente", putting Hungary under an economic blockade and sabotaging it on the international stage.
June 4, 1920
Beregszász was attached to Czechoslovakia according to the Trianon Dictate. The Trianon Dictate gave the Hungarian and Rusyn inhabited Subcarpathia to Czechoslovakia on condition that they had to provide the area autonomy, which they did not fulfill. Beregszász was deprived of its town status and its municipality was suspended. Beregszász became the cultural center of the Hungarians living in Subcarpathia.

In fact, they went to the concentration camp in Solyva, and from there to Siberian labor camps, where most of the died, and those who survived could return home only years later. The people of Beregszász were driven on foot across Munkács to the internment camp at Szolyva on November 18.

History

According to the legend, a peasant lad named Szász was grazing his flock, when two of his bulls clashed and dug up a wealth of treasure with their hooves. Out of gratitude, he erected a church on the site. Its founders were probably Saxon gold and salt miners and farmers settled by King Géza II of Hungary. It was destroyed during the Mongol invasion, and its reconstruction took place only during the reign of King Louis the Great, who made Beregszász one of the most prosperous towns in Upper Hungary. His mother, Elizabeth, had a residence in the town, and it was thanks to her that the church was rebuilt. The present-day church was built in 1418 during the reign of King Sigismund of Hungary. It was rebuilt twice, in 1518 and 1522, from the donation of Queen Mary, the wife of King Louis II of Hungary. In 1519, Pope Leo X elevated the Roman Catholic parish of Beregszász to archdeaconry. In 1565 the church was taken over by the Calvinists, who destroyed its altars, statues and sacred images. On June 17, 1657, Poles raided the town, set the church on fire where the inhabitants had taken refuge, and massacred its defenders. The church was renovated by Báthory Zsófia, the wife of Prince Rákóczi György II of Transylvania. On June 8, 1686, the defenders of Munkács Castle attacked the imperials stationed in Beregszász. Sorrowfully the church burned down again, which left the town without a church for almost a century and a half. The tower was repaired in 1743. The church was completely restored between 1839 and 1846 in a Romantic style. The west side of the church was made symmetrical by the addition of the Christ Coffin Chapel. The chapel of St. Michael on the south side was demolished. The tower was raised, the western facade was remodeled in neo-Gothic style.

On May 2, 1918, the church burned down. It was restored between 1921 and 1929. A memorial plaque commemorates Pastor Szutor Jenő at the entrance to the church. On July 22, 1919, the Czechs occupied Beregszász, and in 1920, the almost entirely Hungarian town was given to Czechoslovakia. The Hungarian pastor refused to take the oath as a Czechoslovak citizen in April 1923, so he was expelled from Beregszász, but was recalled by the parish a few months later. He fell victim to Stalin's terror.

History

In 1723, the Hungarian Parliament passed Article 73, according to which a county hall had to be built in each county. In 1731, Count Schönborn Frigyes Károly donated a plot of land in Beregszász for the purpose of the county hall. The first one story county hall was built in 1731. It was demolished in 1771 and a larger building was erected in its place, but it was destroyed by fire in 1776. In 1779, Count Schönborn Ervin Jenő donated four plots of serf land for the construction of the new county hall, where the two-storey building was soon built. On the night of March 18, 1880, 44 houses, including the county hall, were destroyed in a fire caused by the overturning of a kerosene lamp in the apartment of Guthy Mór, a county clerk. The new county hall was built in 1890 according to the plans of the famous Hungarian architect Ybl Miklós. The renowned Hungarian historian, archaeologist and ethnographer Lehoczky Tivadar gave lectures in the ceremonial hall of the county hall. He presented to the audience his most notable work here, the three-volume monograph of Bereg County. In 1995, a memorial plaque was placed on the wall of the county hall in honor of Lehoczky Tivadar.

The new building of the school was built between 1900 and 1901 according to the plans of Pecz Samu in the Neo-Renaissance style. In 1944, the Soviet invaders expelled the students who did not speak Russian or Ukrainian. It has been a Ukrainian grammar school ever since. Beregszász was almost exclusively Hungarian back then, and it still preserves its Hungarian majority despite the vast Ukrainian migration during the Soviet Era.

Former Student Hostel, Bethlen Gábor Hungarian High School
History

The building of the high school was built in 1902 on the banks of the Vérke river. However, this did not address the problem of students commuting from villages and other towns. There was a need for an accommodation that would have housed these students. In 1936, the student lodge was built from public donations to accommodate the rural students of the high school. In 1945, with the Soviet occupation, the Hungarian grammar school and the student lodge were abolished. The Hungarian high school was turned into a Ukrainian high school (the town had a negligible Ukrainian population). The student lodge became a home for students with intellectual disabilities. The Hungarian high school, which reopened in 1991, was allowed to move into the former building of the student lodge in 1993, as the high school was retained by the Ukrainians. The town still has a Hungarian majority despite state-organized Ukrainian migration during the Socialist era. In 1995, the bust of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania was unveiled in the school yard. The Principality of Transylvania symbolized Hungarian independence agains Habsburg oppression during the 17th century.

Kazinczy Ferenc stayed at the Oroszlán Hotel between August 20 and 23, 1800. He arrived in Beregszász after having been held for 6 and a half years in various prisons for his participation in the Hungarian Jacobin Martinovics movement. Kazinczy Ferenc (1759-1831) was a Hungarian writer, poet and most importanty the leader of the Hungarian Language Reform, which enabled the Hungarian language to keep up with scientific progress and become the official language of the nation in 1844. This was a strong response to the agressive Germanisation of Hungary forced by the Habsburgs during the 18th century. Petőfi Sándor spent the night from 12 to 13 July 1847 in the hotel. The poet was on his way to Koltó to marry his love, Szendrey Júlia. Petőfi Sándor was the great poet of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849. The building currently hosts the Illyés Gyula Hungarian National Theater.

Esze Tamás (1666-1708) was one of the leaders of the fugitives, who fled to the woods from the Habsburg tyranny and started to organize an uprising. He led their mission to Berezhany, Poland, where the Hungarian aristocrats, Rákóczi Ferenc II and Bercsényi Miklós found refuge from the emperor. Rákóczi appointed Esze Tamás first colonel of the army that was to be organized. Rákóczi also gave him a proclamation urging the uprising and the flags of the uprising. Despite Rákóczi's order, the flags were unfurled on the market places of Tarpa, Vári and Beregszász on May 21-22, 1703. With this, the uprising in Tiszahát broke out, and the Hungarian War of Independence started.

A plaque was placed in memory of the nation’s poet on the wall of the former inn building (1987) and a statue was erected in front of the former Casino (1991). Shortly after the ceremony, a Ukrainian man attacked the statue with an iron rod, in revenge for removing the statue of Lenin from the square. One arm of the statue was broken off. A few days later, the entire statue was torn down. The statue was then restored in Nyíregyháza (Hungary), but with a thin strip indicating the location of the fracture.

This was achieved by Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania, who led a campaign against Vienna during the Thirty Years War. The Principality was the last bastion of the Hungarian independence in the period between 1571 and 1687, when two empires , the Ottoman and the Habsburg, were vying for the territory of Hungary. Bethlen Gábor built a mansion for himself in Beregszász in 1629. His bust was unveiled in the courtyard of the Hungarian High School in 1995.

Out of gratitude, he erected a church on the site.\nIts founders were probably Saxon gold and salt miners and farmers settled by King G\u00e9za II of Hungary. It was destroyed during the Mongol invasion, and its reconstruction took place only during the reign of King Louis the Great, who made Beregsz\u00e1sz one of the most prosperous towns in Upper Hungary. His mother, Elizabeth, had a residence in the town, and it was thanks to her that the church was rebuilt.\nThe present-day church was built in 1418 during the reign of King Sigismund of Hungary. It was rebuilt twice, in 1518 and 1522, from the donation of Queen Mary, the wife of King Louis II of Hungary.\nIn 1519, Pope Leo X elevated the Roman Catholic parish of Beregsz\u00e1sz to archdeaconry. \nIn 1565 the church was taken over by the Calvinists, who destroyed its altars, statues and sacred images.\nOn June 17, 1657, Poles raided the town, set the church on fire where the inhabitants had taken refuge, and massacred its defenders. The church was renovated by B\u00e1thory Zs\u00f3fia, the wife of Prince R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Gy\u00f6rgy II of Transylvania.\nOn June 8, 1686, the defenders of Munk\u00e1cs Castle attacked the imperials stationed in Beregsz\u00e1sz. Sorrowfully the church burned down again, which left the town without a church for almost a century and a half. The tower was repaired in 1743. \nThe church was completely restored between 1839 and 1846 in a Romantic style. The west side of the church was made symmetrical by the addition of the Christ Coffin Chapel. The chapel of St. Michael on the south side was demolished. The tower was raised, the western facade was remodeled in neo-Gothic style."},{"sightId":1008,"townId":50,"active":1,"name_LO":"\u041a\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043b \u0440\u0435\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0456\u0432 (\u043a\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0432\u0456\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439)","address":"Kossuth Lajos St, 30","mapdata":"1|888|1083","gps_lat":"48.2059490000","gps_long":"22.6436750000","religion":2,"oldtype":"1","newtype":"1","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"https:\/\/www.muemlekem.hu\/hatareset\/Reformatus-templom-Beregszasz-934","csemadoklink":"https:\/\/www.karpatinfo.net\/latnivalok\/reformatus-templom-beregszasz","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022FOTO:Fortepan \u2014 ID 76058: Adom\u00e1nyoz\u00f3\/Donor: Unknown. archive copy \/ Public domain\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Beregsz%C3%A1sz_1940,_H%C5%91s%C3%B6k_tere,_h%C3%A1tt%C3%A9rben_a_reform%C3%A1tus_templom._Fortepan_76058.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022Beregsz\u00e1sz 1940, H\u0151s\u00f6k tere, h\u00e1tt\u00e9rben a reform\u00e1tus templom.

On the night of March 18, 1880, 44 houses, including the county hall, were destroyed in a fire caused by the overturning of a kerosene lamp in the apartment of Guthy M\u00f3r, a county clerk. The new county hall was built in 1890 according to the plans of the famous Hungarian architect Ybl Mikl\u00f3s.\nThe renowned Hungarian historian, archaeologist and ethnographer Lehoczky Tivadar gave lectures in the ceremonial hall of the county hall.
