Kiskunfélegyháza - Little Cumania Museum

 
The ethnographic and local history collections of the Kiskun Múzeum are now on display in the Baroque building of 1753, formerly the headquarters of the military command of Little Cumania. In view of its earlier function as a jail, the courtyard wing has been made into a prison museum. The exhibits on display here, such as instruments of torture, are a reminder of the time when bandits and robbers made the Great Hungarian Plain a dangerous place to live. Well worth seeing is the still functioning windmill dating from 1860 which now stands in the museum courtyard.
Hours:
