WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF HUSSITE HOUSE AND LOCAL HISTORY AND ETHNOGRAPY COLLECTION.

I. SPRING OPENING AT THE GÖNC HUSSITE HOUSE

April 25–26, 2026

The Gönc Hussite House Museum is joining the Open-Air Museums and Village Museums Day for the first time this year, with the aim of establishing a new tradition.

DAY OF TRADITIONAL FOLK COSTUME IN GÖNC

Saturday, April 25, 2026 | 13:00–16:00

The afternoon program presents “Our Folk Art Heritage of Northern Abaúj”, strengthens connections with twin settlements, and highlights the gastronomic cultural tourism values of Gönc.

Following the welcome speech by Mayor János Sivák, the program continues with an authentic zither performance by Kira Gyömbér and her teacher Etelka Sélley.
The zither has played a significant role in Gönc’s folk culture since the 19th century, preserving the memory of skilled village craftsmen and serving as an important element of local identity—traditionally accompanying both home festivities and communal work.

During the afternoon:

Performances by the Abaúj Folk Tradition Ensemble
Performance by the Gönc “Betyár” Folk Group
Guided tour of the Hussite House Museum and Local History Collection (building, interior, and history)

Visitors can also enjoy:

Traditional dish: “Gönc-style potato pancakes with ‘Betyár’ bacon”, prepared on a wood-fired stove
Craft fair in the parking area opposite the museum
Folk games in the courtyard

OPENING DAY – PROFESSIONAL GUIDED TOURS

Sunday, April 26, 2026 | 11:00–15:00

Visitors can explore the Hussite House from a professional perspective through pre-registered guided tours (two sessions), focusing on:

“The Legend of the Hussites”

Interactive tours offer insight into rural cultural heritage, celebrate traditional architecture, and strengthen local identity.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In case of rain, the event (except for the guided tours in the Hussite House) will be held at the Gönc Event Hall.
