Gyöngyös, Historical market town in Heves County, Hungary
Gyöngyös stretches beneath the Mátra mountain ranges at an elevation of 167 meters, intersected by the Gyöngyös creek flowing through its center.
The settlement received market town status in 1334 from King Charles I, marking a period of commercial growth due to its position at trade route junctions.
The Romanesque St. Bartholomew's Church underwent Gothic reconstruction in the 15th century, establishing itself as the first religious structure in the region.
Located 80.8 kilometers from Budapest and 8.4 kilometers from the M3 motorway, Gyöngyös maintains regular transportation connections to major Hungarian cities.
The grass airport on Pipis Hill, constructed in 1931 for gliding purposes, stands as Hungary's highest airport at an elevation of 350 meters.
