The idea of setting up the Archaeological Park arose in 1990. This notion of the late Ildikó Poroszlai (former director of the Matrica Museum) was supported by the city government.
At the planned area of the Park, the purchase of the plots and the excavation of the 115th burial mound (led by Ágnes Holport) started parallel.
The excavation revealed a unique archaeological and architectural monument. The Iron Age burial chamber was preserved almost completely intact.
This made it possible to preserve and present it on the spot.
In the Archaeological Park (well-separated from the burial mound) two areas were created to show the daily life of the Bronze and Iron Ages.
The houses were built based on scientific research results and the reconstruction of the prehistoric natural environment is in continuous progress.
The Archaeological Park was opened in 1996 and the burial mound awaits visitors since 1998.
