History

Kazinczy Ferenc stayed at the Oroszlán Hotel between August 20 and 23, 1800. He arrived in Beregszász after having been held for 6 and a half years in various prisons for his participation in the Hungarian Jacobin Martinovics movement. Kazinczy Ferenc (1759-1831) was a Hungarian writer, poet and most importanty the leader of the Hungarian Language Reform, which enabled the Hungarian language to keep up with scientific progress and become the official language of the nation in 1844. This was a strong response to the agressive Germanisation of Hungary forced by the Habsburgs during the 18th century. Petőfi Sándor spent the night from 12 to 13 July 1847 in the hotel. The poet was on his way to Koltó to marry his love, Szendrey Júlia. Petőfi Sándor was the great poet of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849. The building currently hosts the Illyés Gyula Hungarian National Theater.
