The Tarn of
Megyer Hill

If you happen to be hiking in the Zemplén Mountains and are looking for a genuinely special natural wonder, it is definitely worth making your way toward Sárospatak. Rising more than 300 metres above sea level, Megyer Hill, located north of the town, holds one of Hungary’s most beautiful hidden natural treasures, the Tarn of Megyer Hill. The popular tourist destination is a prime example of the fact that even man-made structures can coexist with the ever-changing natural environment in perfect harmony.

Cuvée Event House

The Cuvée Event House was created through the renovation and conversion of an 18th-century building. By conserving the cross-vault hallways, the original wooden doors and the wine cellar, our aim was to retain the bourgeois, rustic atmosphere of the building, and at the same time to combine it harmoniously with modern features to meet new needs. And for those who are looking for something unconventional and out of the ordinary...

The Reformed Church of Sárospatak

The Reformed Church of Sárospatak is one of the most mesmerising architectural monuments in Sárospatak. The church was built between 1771 and 1781 in Baroque style. Though Baroque is the dominant architectural style of the building, the ceiling of the three-bay nave of the church displays traces of eclectic influences. The choir of the church is home to a gallery, which hosts temporary exhibitions. 

DŰlőbisztró

Have a rest, wanderer! Located in the very heart of Harsányi Winery, Dűlőbistro welcomes guests with refreshing drinks. Our bistro also functions as a production facility where the grapes harvested at the estate come to life and are turned into smooth, silky aszú wines, world-renowned single-vineyard wines and other specialties typical of the Tokaj region. Curious visitors can join guided tours to delve deeper into the process of winemaking.

Via Ferrata

Those who seek some adventure can try the country's fourth Via Ferrata course, which has a combined length of 650 meters, with several routes of varying difficulty running along the sheer vertical walls of the Megyer Hill Tarn. A Via Ferrata course is a type of mountain trail equipped with metal cables, ladders and bridges that allow visitors to access places where previously only professional climbers could go.

The Oldest Tree

The most emblematic tree of the castle’s courtyard is the old Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica). According to estimates, the iconic tree could be between 180 and 190 years old. This Methuselah of trees started aging very rapidly over the past few years and has lost most of its canopy as a result. The museum, however, was determined to try and save the pride of the castle’s courtyard. In 2017, specialists conducted an ultrasound examination of the tree, following which, in 2018, the tree received state-of-the-art treatment and its branches were anchored. As a result, it started to grow again, and its flourishing foliage is definitely a sight to behold.

The Reformed Boarding School of Sárospatak

This school is one of the oldest educational institutions in the country still in existence; it was established by Péter Perényi (Crown guard) in the spirit of the Reformation in 1531. Throughout the centuries, many of the great figures of Hungarian history spent their school years at the Boarding School of Sárospatak, which is considered one of the most prestigious institutions in the country.

THE RÁKÓCZI CASTLE

The Castle of Sárospatak is one of the best-preserved building complexes from the late Renaissance period. The castle is even depicted on Hungary’s 500-forint banknote. The complete renovation of the building took place in the 1960s, and ever since it has been one of the most frequently visited tourist destinations in the country; in recent years, the castle has welcomed more than a hundred thousand visitors annually. The castle’s Rákóczi exhibition earned the institution the Museum of the Year award in 2003.
