English Club from Oradea (Nagyvarad) Romania - Short presentation
The main activity of the English Club is our weekly meeting. We meet every Friday from 18PM to 20PM at Ady Endre high school in Oradea. We have a different topic to discuss at every meeting. Since our first meting from 1990 we have had approximately (50weeks*16 years) 800 meetings. You can imagine that sometimes we are having difficulties finding a topic that we have never discussed before. Here are some topic examples we discussed before: " Improving your relationships ", "Expectations", "Indifference", "Moral Values", "Illusions", "How to be loved?", "Jewellery", "Absurd", "Horror", "Curiosity", "Obsessions", "Supernatural", "Surprise" . The only rule at the meetings is that you must speak in English.

Oradea Synagogue

The Oradea Synagogue was the largest of the three in the large Jewish community before WWII. The number of Jews is about 3% what it was then.

The building shows more Middle-eastern influence than the others.

Painted Monastery

The more famous painted monateries are far to the East in Romania. But this one is quite remarkable. It is still in use, so go quietly, and be respectful around the sanctuary. Several of the nuns have lovely singing voices when they chant the prayers.

Muzeul

Clubul Copiilor

Construirea Muzeului, actualmente Palatul Copiilor, se datoreza in exclusivitate eforturilor Societatii de Arheologie si Istorie a Comitatului Bihor, societate infiintata in 1872. S-a simtit nevoia de a pune in evidenta colectiile societatii intr-un spatiu adecvat, asa ca s-a luat hotarirea construirii muzeului, cind in 1891, episcopul Laurentius Schlauch a oferit din propria gradina terenul necesar. In 1894 s-a deschis o strad[ intre actuala Strada Republicii si Parcul Petofi, pentru a a crea acces direct in viitorul muzeu. Concurusul pentru proiectarea si executarea muzeului a fost cistigat de Rimanoczy Kalman senior. Lucrarile de finisare au fost terminate in 1896. Cladirea devenise neincapatoare, asa ca acesteia i-au mai fost adaugate 5 incaperi in anul 1910. Planurile i-au apartinut lui Rimanoczy Kalman junior. Exteriorul cladirii este dominat de elemente neoclasiciste. Aticele cu colonete, ferestrele inalte ale corpului din mijloc sint tipice stilului renascentist. Sculpturile in stil neorenascentist, fusesera cadou ale canonicului Bunyitai Vince.

Filarmonica de Stat

Partea dinspre strada a cladirii a fost proiectata de Rimanoczy Kalman Jr. In 1914cladirea a fost extinsa spre curte de Sztarill Ferenc. La parter a functionat o biblioteca, a sala de sedinte, in timp ce la etaj s-a amenajat o sala de festivitati. Dupa 1946 a functionat in cladire cinematograful "Arta". Dupa 1990 cladirea a fost cedata Scolii Populare de Arta si Teatrului de Stat, si ceva mai incolo Filarmonicii de Stat.

Sediul Bancii Austro-Ungare

Sediul Bancii Austro-Ungare, astazi Banca Nationala a Romaniei, a fost construit in 1912 dupa planurile arhitectului Alpar Ignac, un arhitect renumit pentru faptul ca el priectase mai multe banci pe teritoriul Monarhiei. Stilul cladirii incorporeaza si elemente baroce.

Palatul Moskovits

Tot de sub mina lui Rimanovzy Kalman au iesit si planurile de constructie ale palatului Moskovist, situat vis-a-vis de Palatul Apollo. Aceasta cladire a fost inaltata intre anii 1904-1905. Interesant este de stiut ca la construirea ei s-au folosit in premiera in Oradea placi cu nervuri de beton armat, tehnica fundamentata teoretic in 1892 de Francois Hennebique. Structura de rezistenta cu placi de beton a fost proiectata de inginerul Zielinsky, profesor universitar din Budapesta.

Palatul Apollo

Constructiile la palat au inceput in 1912 sub conducerea lui Rimanoczy, dar datorita mortii premature a acestuia la numai 42 de ani, lucrarile au fost terminate in 1914 de colaboratorul sau, Krausze Tivadar. In anii 1820, pe acest amplasament existase un han cu numele de Apollo. Dar municipalitatea, proprietara terenului si a hanului a hotarit inlocuirea acestuia cu un palat impozant. Astfel, in 1911, Rimanoczy inmineaza primarului Rimler Karoly planurile proiectului. In 1960, odata cu inlocuirea timplariei metalice a unui portal cu timplarie din lemn, s-a distrus in totalitate parterul palatului.

Vitraliu Vila Darvas-La Roche

Cladirea, a carei planuri au fost semnate de fratii Vago, a fost construita intre anii 1910 si 1911 de Sztarill Ferencz. Influentele vieneze ale lui Josef Olbrich si ale maestrului acesta sint de remarcat in fatada cladirii, precum si arcada parabaolica de la intrare. Finisajul este de factura asemanatoare.

Casa Vago

Cladirea a fost construita in anul 1905 dupa planurile fratilor Vago. De obicei, ne informeaza Peter I. Zoltan, Vago Jozsef se ocupa de partea de arhitectura, pe cind fratele cel mare, Laszol, era cel care proiecta partea ornamentala: vitralii, sgraffito, feronerie, sculpturi. Cei doi frati sint autorii a altor doua cladiri din Oradea. Vila Darvas-La Roche.
