András Cházár's life's work, his birthplace in Jólesz
Building, structure
The best-known building in Jólesz. It was probably built by the Cházár family with the benefit of the estates with noble titles, as it is larger than the other residential buildings. It is now quite difficult to trace the size of the entire plot, because the attached cultural center also takes up a large space and the gardens belong to a different portico. The facade of the building faces Alsó Street, the house itself extends along the length of the courtyard. We enter the building through a portico opening on three sides. The partition walls are missing, but according to the placement of the windows, it can be concluded that there were four, originally vaulted rooms in it. The rooms opened into each other, like in the other residential buildings. ; When the Cházár family became indebted and then died out, Count Dénes Andrássy's father bought the building back and donated it to the Roman Catholic school. Later, his wife, Franciska Hablawecz Dénesné Andrássy, had it converted into a modern building at a cost of 8,000 crowns, with a classroom and a teacher's apartment. The school operated in this building for many years after the Second World War. ; In 1902, a commemorative plaque was placed on the house on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of deaf-mutes education. The plaque is located in the first window as seen from the street, with letters engraved in a simple pink marble slab. The András Cházár Foundation, established in 1990, renovated the birth house and converted it into a Catholic church. The house regained its form from the last reconstruction. The collapsed arches were covered with a new roof structure with a dark brown roof covering. In the northern part of the building, a small bell tower rises from the roof, with a curved roof. The new bell is placed here. Thus, the entire building slightly covers the facade of the new cultural center added to it. ; On September 21, 1995, on the 250th anniversary of the birth of András Cházár, two new memorial plaques made of gray marble were ceremoniously placed on the left side of the door in the northern part of the side wall, at the entrance to the András Cházár memorial room. ; ; Life: ; András Cházár (Jólész, June 5, 1745 - Rozsnyó, January 28, 1816): lawyer, court judge, county clerk, legal writer, advocate of the downtrodden and disabled, enthusiastic initiator of the establishment of the first Hungarian special education institution (the Deaf Education House in Vác, 1802).
