The preserved historic building with arcades, pillared porch, four towers and corner rooms used to be the residence of the Lónyay family. Ferenc Rákóczi II was staying here when he issued the „Namény edict” in which he invited the noblemen of Szabolcs to fight. In the museum a permanent exhibition demonstrates the prehistory of Bereg ad the era of the Conquest. At this exhibition demonstrating the folk culture of the region there can be seen not only the nationally renowned collection of iron stoves and pig-iron, but also an embroidery and folk weave collection of Bereg, Easter eggs of Bereg, architectural monuments, furnishment and other household objects.

Mother River with her Children

 

The statue composition called “Mother Rover with her Children” on the Szabadság Square is an artwork of symbolic meaning, representing the meeting of three rivers – Tisza, Szamos, Kraszna – at the city border. Formally the bathing mother and her children are giving a lyrical “action” to this piece of art, in which the mother (the river Tisza) is hugging her children (Szamos, Kraszna) in order for them to move forward together in the sweeping dynamism. The artwork was inaugurated in 1987.
