Saint Ladislaus Church, Karád, Baroque Catholic church in Karád, Hungary

Saint Ladislaus Church in Karád is a baroque structure with a symmetrical facade, decorated stone details, and multiple windows that allow natural light into the interior. The building displays typical baroque proportions and architectural features that shape the town's appearance.

A church already stood here in the Árpád era, with a semicircular sanctuary 14.5 m long and 8.3 m wide; it was enlarged in the Middle Ages, probably with a gallery and tower, but by the 18th century only ruins remained. The present church was begun before the foundation stone laid in 1742 by Ádám Acsády, bishop of Veszprém, and the tower was finished by 1749. Two side aisles and two galleries were added in 1861, the aisles enlarged in 1908, and a 16-year renovation begun in the 2000s ended with the consecration on 11 May 2019 by Bishop László Varga.

The church is named after King Ladislaus I, and its patronal feast is celebrated around his day, 27 June. The four bells cast by Szlezák László in 1927 still hang in the tower. A statue of Saint Florian, found buried during the 2018 excavations, now stands beside the church.

The church is open during daylight hours for prayer and is used for regular services, so checking opening times in advance is helpful. Visitors should enter quietly and show respect if services are taking place during their visit.

Archaeologists from the Rippl-Rónai Museum found the remains of the medieval church and a statue of Saint Florian in the ground during the 2018 renovation; the statue now stands beside the church. The tower's tin helm is eight-sided, and two of its three former semicircular gate openings are walled up, marked only by the half-pillars beside them.
