It is located in Barcs-Belcsapuszta, it is a small castle, a manor house. It was built by Károly Kremzir in the mid-1870s, in the spirit of historicism (eclecticism), the dominant style of the era. The exact time of its construction is unknown, but according to the 1866 cadastral map, it did not exist at that time. According to local folklore, it was built at the same time as the Széchényi Castle in Somogytarnóca, that is, it may have been built around 1873-75. Until 1944 the family lived there, but after World War II, the Border Guard Board moved into it. In 1954, the Border Guard settled in Barcs, the castle became the property of the Agricultural Cooperative and they turned it into rental houses. The Cooperative applied for a demolition permit for the dilapidated building in 1978, but did not receive it due to the protected nature of the castle.
The building was eventually taken over by the City Council and then sold to a private individual in the 1980s, who promised to renovate it, but it never happened. (Márton Rózsás) The listed castle is still privately owned. The condition of the castle is far from ideal, the whole roof structure and all the windows are missing, the walls are crumbling. It is forbidden to enter due to safety reasons, but admired from afar, it offers a truly romantic sight as nature takes over and grows into the castle.
Kremzir Miksa House
One of the most beautiful, eclectic-style buildings of Barcstelep was built by Károly Kremzir (the father of landlord Mór Kremzir in Belcsapuszta) in the early 1880s. The unusually large house was built on the floodplain of the Drava that was filled just a few decades before, like most of Barcstelep’s buildings. The local folklore says it was based on huge poles due to the swampy soil. It was inhabited by the heir of the family until the nationalization when the District Court and the Land Office moved here.
After the change of the political system, both bodies moved out of the building and it became uninhabitable. The dilapidated property was finally completely renovated in 2010, and today it houses the Türr István training and research centre.
A monument to Soviet, Bulgarian and Yugoslav soldiers who were killed in the Barcs area during World War II, it is on Hősök Square, on the site of the former war cemetery and memorials. The memorial plaques were placed on the podium next to the 8-meter-high concrete obelisk and on the pedestal of the obelisk.
The designer of the monument, completed in 1969, was architect Lajos Bognár. The remnants of the soldiers were buried in a common grave under a flower bed north of the monument during the reconstruction of the square. After the change of the political system, the red star was removed from the top of the monument.
Barcs became the district seat in 1896. At the same time, preparations for the construction of the High Sheriff’s Office and the organization of office work began. For a short time, the office operated in a temporary building. During the designation of the location of the final building, a serious dispute and tension arose between Barcs and Barcstelep, because both parts of the settlement wanted to own this important public building. Finally, on the middle ground, the construction began in 1896 on the then undeveloped part of Ország road. The plans were prepared by Lajos Spur, a manor engineer, and the construction was carried out by contractor István Stigler.
On 10 August, 1897, the High Sheriff’s Office took possession of an imposing public building. The first high sheriff was Ödön Fenyőssy, followed by György Sárközy, Ferenc Szandház, Ákos Barcsay and then Károly Boronkay. After World War II, in the wake of the new social and political system, the Barcs District Council functioned here. After Barcs became a town (1979), the building was occupied by the City Council and then by the Mayor’s Office.
In the second half of the 18th century, the first Lutheran believers arrived in Barcs alongside with the German settlers. Their numbers did not increase so much in the predominantly Catholic settlement until the mid-1830s, when they were able to join the church in Vése. From 1856, their services were held in the house of prayer built in Újbarcs (now Munkácsy Street), where they also opened a school. The congregation got bigger by the middle of the 19th century, it became the filial church of Porrogszentkirály in 1875. From 1895, Pál Fuchs, the charismatic Levite teacher and director, took over the leadership of the community and managed the local activities of the Lutheran Church for 36 years.
In 1903, 20 families of Catholic Germans, about 100 people, converted to the Lutheran faith in protest of the reduction in the number of masses in German. The congregation, strengthened in this way, bought the Potencz plot in the middle of the village in 1905 with the building on it, which was once used by a reading circle. By rebuilding and expanding it, the vicarage, the school, and the church were built in 1906. By 1908, the converted Catholic believers had largely returned to their original religion. The Lutheran school was one of the best educational institutions in the settlement, many students of other religions also studied here. Pál Fuchs retired in 1932, after that the school was closed. His successor was the pastor Lajos Molnár who held office until 1973. After his death, the Lutheran community again belonged to Porrogszentkirály. Among the old relics of the congregation we can still see the first chalice and paten, the baptismal font and the original altarpiece made in 1856. The benches were moved from the first Jewish house of worship.
In the summer of 2021, thanks to the “Warmth of the Soul” program, the Lutheran church in Barcs was almost completely renovated in three weeks. Thanks to the project, all the doors and windows of the church were replaced, the entire floor was renovated, the old battered surface was replaced by tiles. The wall covering, which was damaged as a result of the earthquake, was also repaired, and thanks to the Hungarian Lutheran Church, the entire interior was painted. The benches are also restored so that in the future they can receive the congregation in an almost completely renewed environment.
It was founded in the early 1920s by József Dvorszky in Kert Street, at the corner of today’s Semmelweis and Türr Streets. The designer and builder of the facility, built with an investment of 400 million crowns, was József Treiber, a master builder from Barcs.
The villa-like building, furnished with all the comforts of the age, had a bathtub and a steam bath in 6 cabins. Steam and hot water were provided by a Stréber-type boiler. The mechanical equipment was installed by József Fehér, the carpentry work was done by the local master Károly Láminger. After World War II, it operated as a sanitary bath in municipal maintenance until the mid-1960s. After the construction of the waterworks network and the beach, its importance ceased to exist. The building is currently a residential building.
