The tourism development project titled “The route of medieval churches in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and Satu Mare Counties” was executed in a co-finance of the Hungarian-Romanian Cross Border Cooperation Program 2007-2013 the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Self-Government as a leading partner and the Satu Mare County Council as a project partner in 2009-2011. The aim of the development was to trace out a thematic route of medieval churches in the Hungarian-Romanian border area, which was the first common thematic route of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and Satu Mare counties. Since both of these counties consider their cultural, architectural heritage an outstanding public value a common harmonized development program was worked out for the sake of protection and promotion. The medieval churches are in the center of the program since these are unique treasures of the area.

Followed by a series of broad negotiation of experts the church route was traced out according to a recommendation based on a consensus in the historical area of Satu Mare County. Several organizations participated in the negotiations to assure a professional ground for the designation of the thematic route. The Cultural and Heritage Protection Agency, the Tourinform, the Jósa András Museum, the Szatmár Reformed Church Diocese, the parishes alongside the route, the Szatmár Leader Kht., the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Regional Development and Environment Management Agency, the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Self-Government, the Satu Mare County Museum, the Satu Mare County Roman Catholic Diocese, the Satu Mare County Orthodox Diocese, the Cultural and Religious Directorate and the Satu Mare County Council all took part in the negotations. Besides these organizations tourism, art, regional development and marketing experts took part in the job of assuring the consideration of the heritage protection and touristic aspects of the designation of the route.

The following aspects were taken into consideration when tracing and localizing the church route:

  • The route should consist of mainly medieval churches built in the Romanesque or Gothic era
  • Historical factors had a significant role, the common history; the common historic roots suggested that the historic Szatmár County could be the basis of the trace of the route.
  • The accessibility of the churches was another aspect, so that distances between the churches on the route should be short.
  • The cross border character of the program should prevail, so the thematic route should be focused on the border area.
  • The project should support the churches that already have high touristic potential but low promotion level.
  • The hospitality potential of the settlements should be taken into consideration.

As a result of the negotiations twenty church from Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County and ten from Satu Mare County were chosen thus altogether thirty churches constitutes the route of medieval churches in the historic Szatmár area.

The project was executed in three main stages:

  • Selection of the churches, localization of the route (December 2009 – July 2010)
    Related tasks: workshops, organization of negotiations
  • Research stage (August 2010 – February 2010)
    Related tasks: making of a study, organization of a scientific symposium
  • Promotional stage (February 2011 – May 2011)
    Related tasks: production and distribution of promotional material
    (Brochures, website, film, press conferences, convention and production of other direct marketing material)

What is a thematic route?
A thematic route means the sum of sights, tourism related services and programs in different venues with the same theme linked together into one unified touristic product. In accordance with this the aim of the project was to create a joint touristic route by the mutual promotion and the linking of the medieval churches which by themselves have an outstanding heritage touristic value, but do not represent a significant touristic attraction. The idea of the program arose from the problem that despite the outstanding value of the churches of the two counties they do not have the appropriate promotion and therefore have a low number of visitors. Furthermore the information provided for the enquirers is remarkably low. To tackle these problems the program provides comprehensive information about these unique buildings on its website and draws the attention of the visitor to the religious touristic values of the two counties.


What makes the route of medieval churches a thematic route?
It is a thematic route from two points of view; as a heritage and as a religious touristic route.

The route of medieval churches as a heritage touristic attraction: It mainly consists of such medieval churches that are under historic building protection and represents the unique character and traditions of the church architecture of Szatmár. The visitors get to know in depth this unmatched architectural and cultural heritage which is unique in the Carpathian basin.

The route of medieval churches as a religious touristic attraction: This route is not only a heritage touristic attraction but also a religious memento and a trip also means a spiritual experience.
