Churches of the Holy Archangels, Carei

[1] The provincial Baroque church lies along an east–west line; it is composed of a vestibule with a spire, a long rectangular nave and an altar with a semicircular apse.

The town's first inhabitants of that denomination were hajduks who settled there in the late 17th century, guarding the fortress on behalf of the Károlyi family.

In the early 18th century, Sándor Károlyi assigned an area for the hajduks to settle; later, Romanian families from surrounding villages noticeably increased the Greek-Catholic population.

[2] One of Carei's earliest Baroque buildings, the church is believed to be inspired by the one in Máriapócs, Hungary.

[2] The brick church has a single nave, with two spires on the western end and a trefoil altar at the east.

[2] Today, the congregation is Hungarian, and the church is known as Szent Mihály és Gábor arkangyalok görög-katolikus templom in their language.

[3] Both churches are listed as historic monuments by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
