Overview
Edelény serves as the gateway to the Bódva Valley, a rural region of Northern Hungary dotted with heritage museums, medieval churches, and castle ruins. The town's main draw is the L'Huillier-Coburg Palace, the seventh-largest palace in Hungary, rebuilt between 2009-2014 and now operating as a museum with guided tours.
