History

Bükkszentkereszt was founded in 1755, to provide shelter for the Slovak workers of the glass manufacture (huta) built here this time. As another huta had already existed in a neighbouring village (present-day Bükkszentlászló), the new village was named Újhuta (new huta). Glass production ceased in 1796. In the 19th century, inhabitants of Újhuta worked in the state-owned forests of Bükk Mountains. In 1910, Újhuta had 1011 inhabitants. Tourism began in the 1930s. In 1940, the name of the village was changed to Bükkszentkereszt (Holy Cross of Bükk).

Sights
  • Roman Catholic church (1800-1801)
  • Museum of glass manufacturing
  • Artesanal lime-kilns
gollark: They have a bit of a monopolies problem I heard, though probably faster connections in some places.
gollark: Modern wired display connectors need at least gigabytes per second. The latest version of DisplayPort goes up to 80Gbps...
gollark: Here in the UK something like 30Mbps is the common available internet connection speed outside of cities, which means a lot of compression and/or low framerate and/or resolution.
gollark: I think bandwidth might actually be more of an issue because video data is big.
gollark: On the "fibre" connection at home (VDSL to a nearby box advertised as fibre because BT) I get something like 25ms latency to Google DNS, which is less than two frames at 60Hz, so not that bad.
