In the Middle Ages this rural town (pop. 14,000) 35km (22mi.) southeast of Nyíregyháza belonged to the Báthori family, princes from Transylvania who become great feudal lords. Nyírbátor has them to thank for its two magnificent medieval churches, of which St George's Church, now the Reformed Church, is one of the major Late Gothic Hungarian edifices.
