Dobozi cemetery

The largest and oldest known cemetery of Debrecen is the Cegléd street, today Kossuth street cemetery. 

It was divided into three different parts, the eastern one was called Rakovszky, the northern one was called Csapó Street, and the largest, southern one was called Dobozi Cemetery. This was the burial ground for the Dobozi family and other peers. The noble Dobozi family came to Debrecen from Kisszántó in the middle of the 17th century. István Dobozi was the chief judge of the city thirteen times in a row, and his son, István Dobozi II ten times successively.

The exhibition also displays findings that were previously unknown to visitors. The unique golden jewelleries from the 16th–17th centuries, the bodice with a silver clip and the beaded head-dress of Sára Dobozi, or the pelisse and dolman of István Dobozi Jr will all be exhibited again.
