Mátrafüred

Mátrafüred is an other inner area of the town of Gyöngyös in Heves county, Hungary, in the Mátra mountain range.

The Bene castle is first mentioned in the documents in 1301, what was built by the Csobánka family on the northeastern mountain ridge.

The inn where poet Mihály Vörösmarty, the first known tourist of Mátra, stayed in 1829 was built near the chapel.

The population was engaged in drapery production, for which mills were built on the banks of the Bene creek.

The bed of the marshy Sás lake was dredged in 1960 and the water supply was provided from the nearby spring.
