Machine Exhibition

(HU) Régi motorok, mezőgazdasági gépek, és egyéb tárgyak tárlata tekinthető meg a Géptárban.
A Géptár Múzeumomban Mogyorós József egyéni gyűjtő által összegyűjtött, feljavított oldtimer autók, öreg motorkerékpárok, kerékpárok, mezőgazdasági gépek (traktorok), stabil motorok (Lokomobilok) és egyéb más használati tárgyak, lovas eszközök láthatóak.

A múzeum tárlataiban szereplő tárgyak között jármű ritkaságok is szerepelnek, melyek egy tudatos gyűjtés eredményeként menekülhettek meg a bezúzástól, beolvasztástól.

Az itt látható régi műszaki, közlekedési és mezőgazdasági használati tárgyak, gépek között még most is található olyan, mely működik, így a Géptárban látható veterán járművek akár ki is bérelhetőek. Read more

Reformed Church

Hajdúszoboszló’s oldest historic buildings are the local reformed church and the remains of the city fort wall that lie beside it.

These buildings are also the city’s symbol collectively. The reformed church was built in the Baroque style in the early 1700’s. Its enlargement took place in the year 1818. The builders used the stylistic marks of classicism during the process.

The church building had been completely renovated in 2000. Several old reminiscent relics may be found in the building, like the Chair of Moses from 1816 or the pulpit cloth from 1937 on which the emblem of the city is embroidered. Besides religious services the church is also home to concerts and choral nights on several occasions.

The reformed church of Hajdúszoboszló also welcomes bathing guests arriving to the city. One of the unique initiatives of the church is the map of Great Hungary where each brother who arrived from afar marks their hometown with a pin after the service. The magnitude of the church and faith is also symbolized by the many-many pins that can be found on the map. The church accepts visitors during the opening hours, or exclusively by prior appointment.
