Bükkszentkereszt

Bükkszentkereszt extends across an elevation range of 520 to 620 meters in the Bükk Mountains, covering 26.97 square kilometers of forested terrain.

The settlement originated in 1755 when Slovak glass workers established a community called Újhuta, which maintained glass production operations until 1796.

Twenty percent of the population maintains Slovak heritage, contributing to a mixed cultural identity that shapes local traditions and community practices.

The Roman Catholic church, constructed between 1800 and 1801, remains open to visitors and serves as the main religious center for the community.

Traditional lime-kilns and a glass manufacturing museum preserve the industrial heritage of this mountain settlement, documenting its manufacturing history.
