Nyírbátor is a small town in south-eastern Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, in the core of Nyír region.The family that took the town’s name, Báthori, built a mansion in Nyírbátor in the 14th and 15th centuries. The written sources mention for the first time curia in 1433, locating it near the chapel Corpus Christi, specifically in the area where archaeological excavations have revealed traces of the castle rebuilt in the 1500s. In the 18th century, the building was in a state of ruin, and the functional part was used as granary. Báthori Castle was restored in 2006 – thanks to the restoration it can receive visitors today – and is the only side of the old building that preserves in its walls medieval artifacts.
