The Károlyi Manor House in Carei (Satu Mare Co.) is one of the most beautiful examples of Historicist architecture in the region, which has undergone several reconstructions and modifications throughout its history. During recent conservation works, certain architectural details were revealed, which may refine our view on the building’s Baroque period. The limits of this study do not allow a detailed review of the building’s evolution, and consequently, after a brief historical presentation, it will be confined to a few clarifications regarding the Baroque antecedents of the present building.
