Kisvárda, Medieval market town in Northern Great Plain region, Hungary

Located near the borders of Slovakia and Ukraine, Kisvárda extends across the Rétköz and Nyírség regions with a population of 16,669 residents.

The town received its name in 895 during the Conquest of Hungary, referencing a defensive earthwork structure that evolved into a strategic fortification.

The Rétközi Museum, housed in a former synagogue, preserves artifacts and documents from the local Jewish community that numbered 3,500 before World War II.

The Budapest-Ukraine railway line passes through Kisvárda, making it a transportation hub for regional commerce and international connections.

Bertalan Farkas, the first Hungarian astronaut, originated from this town, which maintains sister city relationships with six European municipalities.
