Bekesszentandras

Few towns on Hungary’s Great Plain have a history as closely tied to the regulation of the Körös rivers as Békésszentandrás. The Békésszentandrás barrage, completed on the Hármas-Körös in 1942, remains a defining part of the settlement’s waterside identity. Nearby, the Kákafoki holtág, a former river channel, is associated with angling and waterside recreation. Beyond the river, the village is known in Hungary for the Szent András brewery, founded here in 1993 and linked to the country’s modern craft-beer scene. Flat agricultural land surrounds the settlement, while the river corridor gives the area its strongest sense of direction.
