Sárospatak, Medieval town in northern Hungary
Located in the Bodrog river valley, Sárospatak occupies a strategic position 70 kilometers northeast of Miskolc, surrounded by rolling hills and fertile lands.
King Emeric granted town status to Sárospatak in 1201, establishing its importance along the major trade route connecting Hungary to Poland during medieval times.
The Reformed College of Sárospatak, founded in 1531, developed into a principal educational center in Royal Hungary, attracting scholars from across the region.
The town maintains direct train connections to Budapest and Miskolc, with the historic castle and Reformed College open to visitors throughout the year.
A cannon-casting factory established by Prince Rákóczi Ferenc I in 1620 produced artillery pieces within the town walls during the Hungarian wars of independence.
