It is 21 years older than the nine-vaulted bridge in Hortobágy; its foundation stone
was laid in 1806. The original bridge was about 80 metres long and had nine
vaults, only five of which remain today.
The Classical-style Kunhegyes church is the biggest
two-steeple Reformed church on the Great Plain (Alföld) and is also referred to
as the 'Cathedral of the Great Plain'.
Built in 1746, the most attractive feature of the church is the
wooden coffered ceiling decorated with painted flowers. Originally separate from
the church but now connected to it, at 47.1 metres its steeple is the highest in South Borsod.
Ranked among the most significant heritage in the county is the
vernacular Barna-type windmill built in 1858.
The original Gothic-style church was built around 1480. About
two thirds of the 16-metre high church tower remains.
