Mezőhegyes
The MezőhegyesState Stud (Ménesbirtoki Központ)
By establishing the Austrian Imperial and Hungarian Royal Apostolic Stud, a new chapter was opened in the history of Hungarian horse breeding, after Emperor Joseph II. signed the founding book of the Mezőhegyes State Stud (1784). This way the first state stud of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been established, in order to provide the military with horses and to reach a higher level of horse breeding. The first three traditional Hungarian horse breeds were born here: The Furioso-North, the Gidran and the Nonius. The aim of their breeding was to be suitable for military purposes: big body mass, strong physique and bearing big workloads.

It awaits its visitors with milling demonstrations.
