History

According to the Peace of Nikolsburg in 1622, Bereg County was attached from the Habsburg-ruled Kindom of Hungary to the Principality of Hungary. This was achieved by Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania, who led a campaign against Vienna during the Thirty Years War. The Principality was the last bastion of the Hungarian independence in the period between 1571 and 1687, when two empires , the Ottoman and the Habsburg, were vying for the territory of Hungary. Bethlen Gábor built a mansion for himself in Beregszász in 1629. His bust was unveiled in the courtyard of the Hungarian High School in 1995.
