Stop Pension - Debrecen (Northern Great Plain)

Debrecen is the second most populous town of Hungary and is the cultural, scientific and commercial centre of Eastern-Hungary. The "Grand Church" (Nagytemplom), the largest Calvinist church in the country, has become the symbol of Debrecen, which is also known as the "Calvinist Rome". It was in Debrecen that Kossuth Lajos declared the end of the Habsburg rule in Hungary in April 1849. The Calvinist College has an illustrious history serving education, literature and science in Hungary for more than 450 years. Of the numerous places of interest in Debrecen, one is the Déri Museum, where besides other interesting exhibitions, the Christ Trilogy of the well-known Hungarian painter, Munkácsy Mihály can be seen.
