building has assumed the current structure at the end of the 19th century. During that period, several works of expansion enlarged the building with a new wing, resulting a rectangular plan delineating an interior courtyard. The interior facades of the old building ground floor were provided with open arches. The best preserved part of the building is the eastern facade, with a division quite rare in matter of decorations using relatively narrow lateral and central jutties. The city has a Calvinist Church, a Roman Catholic Church and a Greek Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church, dedicated to St. Peter and Paul, was built by the Kállay family in 1753- 1783. KÁLL ÓSEMJÉN Stoping at Kállósemjén on the road between Szabolcs and Carei, the Kállay castle is worth visiting. The Kállays initially had two castles in the village, but one of them became today a grain warehouse. The former Kállay Castle was surrounded by a beautiful park. It was built sometime around the year 1767, by György Kállay after the plans of Giuseppe or Salvatore Április. The early core of the castle is formed by six central rooms, with the entrance hall decorated with spirals and tympanum. On the gable is located the Kállay family coat of arms. In 1920, the castle building underwent significant changes, being extended on both sides. Here lived Kállay Miklós, the Hungarian prime minister, whose um was brought into the country in 1993 from New York and placed in the baroque chapel built in the second half of the eighteenth century next to the lime alley of the castle. MÁRIAPÓCS This locality is the most famous pilgrimage place in the north-eastern Hungary. The local Greek-Catholic community had already a small church here in the 17th century, which since 1675 hosted the icon of the Holy Virgin, painted by István Papp, the younger brother of the local priest. The settlement became nationally known in 1696. According to the testimonies, the icon of the Holy Virgin on the iconostasis of the "Ruthenian" church wept, like a miracle, for several weeks. Following research, the Bishop of Eger, Fenessy György confirmed the event, and Emperor Leopold I, after learning the news, ordered the transfer of the icon to Vienna, where it is kept today. But the icon has been copied, and the copy wept again, and the area became a place of pilgrimage. Today's church was founded by the Greek-aus den Jahren 1616-1654 stammen. Im Jahre 1747 wurde die Siedlung zum Sitz des Komitats Szabolcs. Später ist Nagykálló im Hintergrund gedrängt worden und verlor seinen Stadtrang. 1989 bekam die Siedlung erneut den ehemaligen Stadtrang zurück. Das schönste und aus der Sicht der Architektur das wichtigste Gebäude des Hauptplatzes von Nagykálló ist das ehemalige Komitatsrathaus (heutzutage: Fachkrankenhaus für Psychiatrie der Kreisverwaltung). Das Gebäude im Barockstil wurde nach den Entwürfen des italienischen Architekten Salvatore Április gebaut. Die Bauarbeiten begannen im Jahre 1769. Das ursprünglich U-förmige Gebäude erhielt erst zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts seine heutige Form. Das Gebäude wurde durch den Umbau des Hofes umgestaltet, wo sich im Erdgeschoss und in den Stockwerken des U-förmigen Gebäudeflügels geöffnete Arkaden befanden. Der schönste Teil des Gebäudes ist die östliche Fassade mit ihrer nur selten vorkommenden Achsenverteilung, mit Mittelrisalit und mit nicht sehr markant hervorspringendem Seitenrisalit.
