Debrecen Hostels - Hostel List for Debrecen, Hungary

Debrecen, the second most populated Hungarian town, was twice capital of Hungary in history. First in 1849 during the revolution and war of independence, secondly during the Second World War. Debrecen also called The Calvinist Rome, because the local residents converted to the new faith in the 16th century, and the town became the centre of Calvinism. The symbolic pride of Debrecen, the Reformed Great Church, is not only a religious monument, but also a reminder of several significant events of Hungarian history. The dethronement of the Habsburg dynasty was declared within its walls in 1849. Recently, John Paul II visited the Big Church as if to make amends to the Reformed church preachers condemned to the galleys. The renovated Fo Square is the location for cultural programmes. The Calvinist College (Kalvin Square, 16) has an illustrious history; its fame is due to its well known students. Owing to its wide network of schools, it became the school of the nation. We can see educational and ecclesiological exhibitions in the 180 year old building, which features the furnishings of an original Calvinist school, antique goldsmiths works, covers with wonderful embroidery, painted pieces of furniture and the curios of the Great Library.
