We welcome you to the renewed website of the Békés County Council!

Békés county is situated in South-Eastern Hungary, on the Great Hungarian Plain, in the heart of the Carpathian Basin. It was already populated in centuries 5–4 BC, and although badly shaken by the storm of history – first the Mongol invasion, then the Turkish rule devastated the region – it stood up again, due to its natural aptitudes.

It is characteristic of the county that many peoples/nations co-exist peacefully, there is no other place in Hungary where so many nations live together: Romanians, Slovakians ,Polish people, gipsies, Serbians, Germans found their happiness here.
