Berettyóújfalu is the historical center of the Bihar Plain in the Hungarian Great Plain, situated along the banks of the Berettyó River. The town's most significant architectural monument is the Herpályi Csonkatorony, the ruin of a 12th-century Romanesque monastery that stands as a reminder of the destruction during the Mongol and Ottoman invasions. The settlement developed into a key commercial and administrative hub in the 19th century and temporarily served as a county seat following the Treaty of Trianon. Today, Berettyóújfalu is an important transport junction near the Romanian border and features a modern thermal spa, the Bihar Termálliget, known for its medicinal waters. The town preserves a rich cultural heritage displayed in the Bihar Museum, which showcases local archaeological and ethnographic artifacts.
