Karád: Vacation Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

The original Karád embroidery was made with matte white thread on a white background; colored variants did not appear until the 1930s and 1940s. For this embroidery, Tautner Ilona collected patterns of richly embroidered men's shirts in the 1920s. From 1934 onward, she used them to design household textiles and articles of clothing.

Kodály Zoltán compiled a collection entitled “Karádi Nóták” from the folk songs collected in Karád. The Régi Óvoda building was constructed around 1804 by the Diocese of Veszprém, which was also its owner.

The Karádi Tájház is located in a traditional folk house built at the end of the 19th century that has preserved its original form. The building presents local folk-art treasures in an exhibition.

The Church of St. Ladislaus in Karád was built in the Baroque style between 1742 and 1749 and extended with side aisles in 1906. The Kopácsy Mansion in Karád was built in the Neoclassical style in the 1890s.

In the northwestern part of Karád stood Guba-vár Castle, also known as Kupa-vár, dating from the Árpád era; a document from the 13th century mentions it. The ruins of the “Pálos kolostor romjai” monastery are located in the wider regional surroundings of Karád.
