Téglás is an influential small town in Hajdú-Bihar County, strategically positioned between the major regional centers of Debrecen and Nyíregyháza. The town's most prominent landmark is the Degenfeld-Schonburg Mansion, one of the largest Neoclassical manor houses in Hungary, set within an expansive 20-hectare English landscape garden that is a protected botanical heritage site. This park is famous for its massive ancient oaks and rare plant species, offering a glimpse into the 19th-century aristocratic lifestyle. During the mid-20th century, Téglás underwent a significant industrial transformation with the establishment of the HAJDU Industrial Works, which became a household name across Hungary and Central Europe for manufacturing reliable domestic appliances such as washing machines and water heaters. This industrial legacy continues today, with the company remaining a key employer and economic driver for the town. The name Téglás originates from the medieval brick-making trade once common in the area, yet modern Téglás is characterized by orderly residential streets and a strong sense of community. Its excellent transportation links, including the main road 4 and the central railway line, have made it an attractive hub for both logistics and commuters. The town effectively balances its role as a modern industrial center with the preservation of its natural and architectural treasures, particularly the serene atmosphere of the castle grounds.
