A short sightseeing tour
the castle
8
The foundation stone of the ornamented castle was
laid by Karolyi Lancz Laszlo in 1482. King Matei
Corvin gave him permission to build the house.
After 115 years, in 1529, Karolyi Mihaly rebuilt
the stone house to a fortified castle with trench
and loop-holed bastion. In 1661, Karolyi Laszlo
and Karolyi Adam fortified the castle with
additional castle ditches and bastions. In 1790,
Count Karolyi Jozsef, according to the plans of
the court architect Bitthauser Jozsef, demolished
the old building and built a baroque styled
Renaissance castle with an English garden on
some of the basement walls. Between 1894 and
1896, the old castle was rebuilt againt by Count
Karolyi Istvan according to the plans of Meining
Artur to an ornamented Baronial castle with
towers and a high bastion. Nowadays, the building
gives place to the library and the museum of the
town.

Next...
the dendrological park
10
The town park gained its present shape in 1890
when a fence made of brick and iron enclosed it.
In 1982, considering the 12 ha of rare species of
plants, the park was put under protection. There
are 208 species of trees and bushes.
11
Then...
the theatre
12
On the 5th of October 1907, the new theatre,
built under the direction of Bede Antal according
to the plans of Kopeczek Gyorgy, was opened with
a gala performance. Since 1920, it was also used
as a moving pictures theatre. In 1953, under
the pretext of renovation, its secessionist shape
was transformed into a modern one. Now it
functions as a theatre building.
13
And...
the Monument of the Romanian soldier
14
In the centre of the Liberation Square, there is
a park with flowers and trees as well as the
statuary created by Vida Geza, a sculptor from
Baia Mare. The monument was unveiled in 1964
15
To...
the Vasile Lucaciu Secondary School
16
Were going to visit the rest of the town a
little later. For now...
Former Hungarian Civil State School, it became a
Romanian State Gymnasium in 1919. On the 1st of
September 1923, it becomes the Vasile Lucaciu
High School, taking the name of the great patriot
Vasile Lucaciu as an acknowledgement of his
merits in affirming our national identity. The
institution represented a real opportunity for
all the children in the region with a view to
their further education. Some of its graduates
were to become outstanding personalities of the
Romanian culture. In 1948, following the
education reform imposed by the regime, the
learning process is reorganized and it becomes a
secondary co-ed school. On the 1st of September
1962, the Vasile Lucaciu High School becomes
Secondary School No. 2, with both Romanian and
Hungarian departments. In 1993, the school
regains the name Vasile Lucaciu.
