Discover Fehérgyarmat

Bathing history and distinctive architecture

The Kürtgyarmat Tanuszoda, a building in the Makovecz style, is also part of the townscape. It was created to promote swimming lessons in the surrounding towns. Alongside the history of Strandfürdő, the building tells a story of its own, with an architectural and community focus. The Városi Galéria is housed in a renovated burgher's house on Kossuth tér. Its location connects the gallery with a specific building and a named square in the town.

These themes give you different ways to plan your stay: you can focus on Fehérgyarmat's bathing history or take an interest in its architecture and gallery as well. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, first consider which of these aspects matters most to your trip. This will help you choose your holiday destination according to the interests you want to shape your stay.

Rare plants include the narrow-leaved helleborine and the spring snowflake. The description thus ranges from the characteristic mixed forest and other tree species to rare plants. Those interested in landscape and nature will find a different focus here from the bathing history and architecture.
