MISKOLCZ

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 579 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MISKOLCZ ,
capital
  of the county of Borsod,
Hungary
 , 113 M. N.E. of Budapest by rail. Pop. (1900), 40,833. It is situated in a valley watered by the Szinva in the
east
  of the Btikk mountains, and opens towards the
south
  to the plain of the Saj6, an affluent of the Hernad. Miskolcz is a thriving town, and among its buildings are a Roman Catholic church of the 13th century in
Late
 
Gothic
  style, a Minorite convent, and Greek Catholic, Lutheran and Calvinist churches. It manufactures snuff,
porcelain
 , boots and shoes, and prepared leather, and has both steam and water mills. It trades in grain, flour, wine, fruit, cattle, hides, honey, wax and agricultural products, while four well-attended fairs are held annually. About 5 M. west of the town in the Szinva valley is Di6sgyor (pop. 11,520), which possesses important iron-works, and the ruined castle of Dibsgyor, formerly a
shooting
  residence of the kings of
Hungary
 . About 4 M. to the
south
 -west of Miskolcz are the baths of Tapolcza, containing warm springs. To the south-west of the town lies Onod (pop. 2087), to the south of which, on the banks of the Saj6, is the heath of Mohi or Muhi, famous as the scene of the
great
  defeat of the Hungarians by the Mongols in 1241. About 85,000 Hungarians fell, and the whole country was devastated for the next two years by the Mongolian hordes. During the 16th and 17th centuries Miskolcz suffered much from the Ottomans, and from the troops of George Rak6czy and Emeric Tokolyi. In 1781, 1843 and 1847 it was devastated by fire, and on the 30th of August 1878 a
great
  portion of the town was ruined by a terrific
storm
 .
