The name of the town means "little castle", which refers to the castle that stood here at the time of King St Stephen of Hungary. King Saint László of Hungary moved the Bishopric of Bihar here at the end of the 11th century and began building its cathedral. It was not completed until after his death, but it was here that he was finally laid to rest. After his canonisation in 1192, his tomb became a place of pilgrimage. Várad became the second most important religious and spiritual centre of the Kingdom of Hungary, where trials by ordeal took place. Most of the litigation, however, was settled before the trial actually took place. In 1390, in the presence of Queen Mary and King Sigismund of Hungary, the gilded equestrian statue of King Saint László, made by the Kolozsvári brothers, was erected in front of the cathedral. It was the first Renaissance public equestrian statue in Europe. The cathedral was the third in Europe to be granted a charter of indulgence in 1407. Sigismund, who was later elected Holy Roman Emperor, loved the town very much and was laid to rest here. By the middle of the century, thanks to Bishop Vitéz János, Várad had become a centre of humanism. In the 16th century a new, stronger fortress was built against the Turks, and it became the most important bastion of the Principality of Transylvania. In 1557 the cathedral and the diocese fell victim to the Reformation. In 1660, the Turks captured Várad after 46 days of siege and destroyed the famous statues of the Hungarian kings. After the Turks were driven out, the fortress was rebuilt in the 18th century and a new Baroque cathedral and bishop's palace were built. During the 1848-49 Hungarian War of Independence, the fortress's German garrison sided with the revolution and the town was home to the largest Hungarian military factory. At the turn of the 20th century the town underwent significant development, was one of the centres of Hungarian culture, and the Art Nouveau contributed greatly to its architecture. A town was Hungarian-majority throughout its history, it only became a Romanian-majority town in the 1970s as a result of the massive settlements.

The proportion of the Germans dropped from 10.75% to below 1%. These changes were mainly the results of migration and the persecution of Hungarians and Saxons.

The settlement's name comes from the old Hungarian noun v\u00e1rad, meaning small castle. The nagy prefix distinguished it from Kisv\u00e1rda.@after 1091|After the destructive attack of the Cumans, King L\u00e1szl\u00f3 I of Hungary established a monastery dedicated to Virgin Mary inside the castle. The king moved the Diocese of Bihar here, and his nephew, K\u00e1lm\u00e1n, became the bishop. K\u00e1lm\u00e1n the Book-lover followed St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 on the throne.@11-12th century|The castle was expanded. It was surrounded with moat, its palisade was reinforced and later stone walls were erected.@#5|@1241|The Mongols besieged and occupied V\u00e1rad on 15 April after a great fight. The town was destroyed and the people were either massacred or dragged to slavery. Canon Rogerius escaped from captivity and wrote his story in the Carmen Miserabile (Sorrowful Lament). The Register of V\u00e1rad containing 389 legal cases miraculously survived the attack.@1244|The rebuilding was started by Bishop Vince. By the second half of the 13th century, the settlement had largely recovered from the Mongol invasion. The castle and its cathedral were restored. V\u00e1rad's heyday was under the Hunyadi dynasty.@#6|@#7|@early 1474|While the army of King Matthias was in Moravia, Ali, Bey of Smederevo, crossed the Danube and attacked V\u00e1rad on 27 February. Finally, after two days of fruitless siege, they sacked and burned the town. Bishop Filipecz J\u00e1nos immediately began the restoration of the castle and built new, stronger walls and bastions.@1514|The peasant army led by the priest L\u0151rinc burned the town and besieged the castle, which was defended by Captain P\u00f6sty\u00e9n Gergely.

He built a new defensive wall on the west side and a new bastion tower west of the gate.@1551|General Castaldo and George Martinuzzi forced Queen Isabella to renounce the throne. The Queen and her son left for Poland. Imperial mercenaries marched into Transylvania under the command of Giovanni Batista Castaldo. George Martinuzzi was appointed vajda of Transylvania and Archbishop of Esztergom, and Pope Julius III raised him to the rank of cardinal. They drove back the voivodes of Moldova and Wallachia sent by the Sultan against Transylvania. The Turks then launched a punitive campaign against Hungary the following year.@November 5, 1551|The soldiers of George Martinuzzi besieged Lippa held by the Turks. After weeks of fighting, Father George allowed Pasha Ulema a free retreat, and also sent the annual tax to the Sultan, so as not to incur the full wrath of the Turks. This gesture aroused the suspicions of General Castaldo, who believed that George Martinuzzi was in collusion with the Turks. The Court ordered him to do as he willed, as soon as his suspicion became certain.@December 17, 1551|George Martinuzzi was assassinated by the imperial mercenaries of General Castlado in his castle in Alvinc. After the ruthless murder, his corpse lay in the pool of his blood in the castle for 70 days until it was discovered. He was buried in the St. Michael's Cathedral in Gyulafeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r only in March 1552. Martinuzzi's immense fortune was seized by General Castaldo on behalf of King Ferdinand I. According to contemporary sources, the foreign mercenaries loaded 250,000 Hungarian forints, 889 marks of gold bullion, 2453 marks of silver, 4000 Lysimachus gold coins, hoards of gold chains and silverwares onto the wagons, and Father George\u2019s stud of 300 stallions was also stolen. Ferdinand I donated the lordship of Szamos\u00fajv\u00e1r to B\u00e1thory Andr\u00e1s of Ecsed, who was also appointed vajda of Transylvania. B\u00e1thory appointed Dob\u00f3 Istv\u00e1n captain of Szamos\u00fajv\u00e1r, after Dob\u00f3 heroically defended Eger Castle from the Turks in 1552.@1556|The Estates of Transylvania, dissatisfied with Habsburg rule, recalled Queen Isabella to the throne, to which the Sultan gave his consent.

The Diocese of V\u00e1rad established by Saint L\u00e1szl\u00f3 ceased to exist.@1569-1570|The restoration of the fortifications began. Because of the pending Turkish attack, a new and stronger fortress had to be built. The construction was ordered by Captain B\u00e1thory Istv\u00e1n of V\u00e1rad, who was elected Prince of Transylvania in 1571 after the death of King John II. Around the irregular circle shaped medieval castle, which incorporated the cathedral, a regular pentagonal bastion fort was built.@#10|@between 1570-1595|The new and modern fortress planned by Italian engineers was constructed. It had five gigantic bastions surrounded with a deep and wide moat. One of the bastions was later rebuilt by Prince Bethlen G\u00e1bor of Transylvania. V\u00e1rad became the most important element in the border defence system of the Principality of Transylvania. Its captain was second in command after the prince.

The constructions were ordered by Prince Bethlen G\u00e1bor of Transylvania. After the death of Bethlen, Prince R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Gy\u00f6rgy I continued the constructions. The damages done to the Csonka and Kir\u00e1lyfia bastions by the siege in 1598 were repaired at that time. The medieval cathedral was demolished and the construction of a new church was decided.@between 1618-1648|The inner (medieval) castle was remodelled to pentagonal shape with five bastions.@1619|Prince Bethlen G\u00e1bor of Transylvania started to build a Renaissance palace inside the castle in place of the medieval buildings, which was only finished around 1650 during the reign of Prince R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Gy\u00f6rgy II.

His aim was to unite the Hungarian-Polish-Wallachian forces against the Turks. The campaign started successfully with the prince taking Krak\u00f3w and Warsawa, but then the King of Sweden abandoned him. The vengeful Poles invaded northern Transylvania, burning defenceless villages, destroying churches and castles. Soon the punitive campaign of Turkish and Tatar armies devastated Transylvania, as the prince launched his Polish campaign against the Sultan's will.@1658|The Tartars ravaged and plundered throughout Transylvania and Grand Vizier K\u00f6pr\u00fcl\u00fc Mehmed captured Jen\u0151 Castle. The Estates of Transylvania sent Barcsay \u00c1kos to the camp of the grand vizier to beg for mercy. In return, the Grand Vizier demanded that the annual tax be raised from 15 to 40 thousand forints (gold coins) and that Lugos and Karansebes be ceded.

After the Mongol and Turkish destructions, the cathedral was struck by an earthquake, when its two towers fell down. The church was finally destroyed during the reign of Bethlen G\u00e1bor of Transylvania. The present church was designed in 1750 by the famous Austrian architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt. Work, led by Giovanni Battista Ricca, began on 1 May 1752, when the foundation stone was laid by Bishop Forg\u00e1ch P\u00e1l (1747-1757). The Italian architect's death in 1756 led to the work being halted. Finally, Domenico Lucchini took over the building work. Work on the bishop's palace also began at this time. The construction was completed on 8 December 1779 and consecrated by Bishop Count Kollonits L\u00e1szl\u00f3 on 25 June 1780. Its organ was donated by Empress Maria Theresa.@\nLegend has it that Saint L\u00e1szl\u00f3 is buried in the church. On major feasts, a procession is held with the reliquary of St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3, which holds the relic. The relic is a piece of the skull of St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3, and the reliquary is a sixty-centimetre-high gilded silver bust that faithfully reproduces the features of St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3.@\nThe cathedral is the largest Baroque church in Transylvania and Romania. The central nave is 70 m long and 30-40 m wide. Its walls are covered by marble from Vask\u00f3 and Carrara. Its altarpiece painted in 1779 depicts the Assumption of Mary. The altar stands between the wooden statues of King St Stephen of Hungary and his son St Imre. The church has two side naves and two towers. In 1991 Pope John Paul II elevated the church to the rank of basilica minor.@\nIn front of the cathedral you can see the statue of St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3, which originally stood in the main square, but was moved here in 1921 in order to protect it from the occupying Romanian authorities. Near it, you can see another smaller statue of St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3, which was put on its pedestal in 2000 after restoration work was completed. The statue was hidden underground for 52 years. It is the oldest Baroque stone statue in Nagyv\u00e1rad.@\nThe Bishop's Palace, the Canons' Row and the Cathedral together form the Baroque quarter of Nagyv\u00e1rad.@\nThe remains of the medieval cathedral are in the southeastern part of the inner courtyard of the castle, partly under the palace wing, and cannot be seen on the surface. The Diocese of V\u00e1rad was founded by King Saint L\u00e1szl\u00f3 in 1092 and he also started the construction of the cathedral. \nIt was probably consecrated in the 1110s, when the king's remains were brought here from Somogyv\u00e1r. The cathedral was destroyed by the Mongols in 1241, but it was rebuilt. It was remodelled in Gothic style between 1342 and 1372. The cathedral burned down in 1403. Its towers were damaged in an earthquake in 1443. It was also badly damaged in the Turkish siege of 1562 and was never rebuilt."},{"sightId":1230,"townId":59,"active":2,"name_LO":"Palatul Episcopiei Romano-Catolice","address":"Bulevardul Dacia 1-3.","mapdata":"1|1794|842","gps_lat":"47.0680183626","gps_long":"21.9315244874","religion":1,"oldtype":"7","newtype":"7","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"https:\/\/www.muemlekem.hu\/hatareset\/Romai-katolikus-puspoki-palota-Nagyvarad-2375","csemadoklink":"https:\/\/lexikon.adatbank.transindex.ro\/muemlek.php?id=172","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Mister No, CC BY 3.0 \u003Chttps:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Palatul_Baroc_-_panoramio.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022Palatul Baroc - panoramio\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/1b\/Palatul_Baroc_-_panoramio.jpg\/512px-Palatul_Baroc_-_panoramio.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Palatul_Baroc_-_panoramio.jpg\u0022\u003EMister No\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\u0022\u003ECC BY 3.0\u003C\/a\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons","name":"Roman Catholic Episcopal Palace ","seolink":"roman-catholic-episcopal-palace","note":"","history":"It was founded in 1762 by Bishop Baron Patachich \u00c1d\u00e1m (1759-1776), as the centre of the Roman Catholic Diocese of V\u00e1rad. It was completed in 1777. The palace and the entire Baroque quarter were designed by one of the most famous architects of 18th century Europe, Franz Anton Hillebrandt of Vienna, who was also the architect of many palaces in Austria and Hungary (Palace of Buda Castle, the rebuilding of Pozsony Castle). The engineer Johann Michael Neumann was in charge of the massive construction. The palace was built in the late Austrian Baroque style. It has 282 windows, 90 rooms on three floors and three banqueting halls. The building was intended to be a miniature copy of the famous Belvedere Palace in Vienna, partly because of this and partly because of other religious conflicts, the founder was condemned by Empress Maria Theresa. Patachich \u00c1d\u00e1m was Bishop of Nagyv\u00e1rad from 1759 to 1776, before being appointed Archbishop of Kalocsa. The Baron was an educated humanist, a patron of the arts, who was best known for his excellent taste in music and his musicians: Michael Haydn, the brother of the famous composer Joseph Haydn, worked for him as conductor of the bishop's orchestra. The Bishop also employed a number of other famous European composers and violinists, such as Wenzel Pichl and Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf, who worked as music directors in Nagyv\u00e1rad between 1765 and 1769.@\nFinally, in 1771, Queen Maria Theresa of Hungary visited the site with her son Archduke Joseph, heir to the throne, to reconcile herself with the building she had not originally supported. In 1773, the palace burnt down in a mysterious fire, but the next bishop appointed had it restored immediately according to the original plans.@\nIn 1855, a new wing and entrance were added with a grand double staircase.@\nAfter the nationalization, on 17 January 1971 the Bishop's Palace was opened as a county museum under the name of the K\u00f6r\u00f6svid\u00e9ki Museum. The museum has about 400 000 items, grouped in four main collections: history and archaeology, ethnography, natural history and fine arts. Famous for its world-class Neolithic and Bronze Age collections, the museum also boasts ancient Egyptian and Greek artefacts. The ethnographic section is perhaps the largest ethnographic exhibition in Western Transylvania, with a huge collection of folk costumes, farm implements, pots and painted Easter eggs.@\nIn 2004, after 8 years of struggle, the Roman Catholic Church reclaimed the building. An agreement was reached to move the museum.@\nIn 2017, the Hungarian government provided HUF 1.948 billion for the renovation of the building, which started in 2018. The building will continue to host exhibitions and the former seminary building will be renovated as a guest house.

It opened on 15 October 1900 as the Szigliget Theatre. In front of it stands a bust of Szigligeti Ede, sculpted by Marg\u00f3 Ede, erected in 1912. In the summer of 1923, the statue was exiled by the Romanian authorities to the Schlauch Garden and replaced by a statue of the Romanian Queen Mary, only to be returned to its original location in 1940. In the autumn of 1948, the theatre began its first season as the Hungarian State Theatre of Nagyv\u00e1rad. From 1955 a Romanian company also performs in the building. The main figure in its triangular pediment is Hunnia, the figures around her personify music, singing, comedy and tragedy.@\nThe first Hungarian-language theatre performance was given by the company of Kolozsv\u00e1r on 26 August 1798 in the large hall of the Black Eagle restaurant, with Hunnius's The Deaf and Dumb.

The contractor was Sztarill Ferenc. The hotel opened on 1 November 1908. The construction was commissioned by two lawyers from V\u00e1rad, Dr. Adorj\u00e1n Emil and Dr. Kurlander Endre.@\nOn the ground floor there were shops, on the first floor there were the Great and Small Vigad\u00f3 (dancing and concert halls) and a confectioner's shop, and on the third floor there were apartments.@\nThe Eagle Inn stood on the site of the palace since 1714, and the first professional Hungarian theatre performance was held in its hall on 26 August 1798.
