Kakucs: Culture, Local History and Kakucs Ring

The Kakucsi Tájház is housed in a renovated traditional dwelling with a gabled roof and rammed-earth walls. Its collection includes objects donated by local residents from the kitchen, best room and pantry. Kakucs Ring first opened as a karting track in 2007.

The Tájház collection was assembled through the joint collecting efforts of several generations. Objects from the kitchen, best room and pantry offer different insights into everyday domestic life. The building itself also has specific features: the gabled roof describes its shape, while rammed earth refers to the material used for its walls. The construction and the collection can therefore be understood as two distinct aspects of the house.

A wrought-iron waffle iron is also part of the collection. According to its engraving, it was made in March 1815. The engraved date makes this object one of the most precisely dated pieces among those from the different rooms of the house.

The Kakucsi Tájház holds events dedicated to preserving local traditions. The programme also includes demonstrations of traditional craft techniques and summer craft camps. The formats have different focuses: the events centre on preserving traditions, while the demonstrations showcase craft skills. The camps are specifically held in summer. If a particular event is important to your travel plans, check the date in advance.

The Roman Catholic church in Kakucs, at 3 Hősök tere, is known for its main altar, stained-glass windows and original wooden pews. The small Roman Catholic chapel at the corner of Fő utca and Malomkert utca has a small stained-glass window and a cross, and has the character of a small Baroque chapel. The features mentioned therefore differ: the church is notable for its altar, windows and pews, while the chapel is distinguished by its window, cross and architectural form.

The memorials also differ in their design and significance. A Trianon memorial post carved from wood stands in the central park. Also in the central park, at the intersection of Fő utca and Sastelep utca, is a stone cross with a corpus, classified as a place of devotion. The Liebner-emlékoszlop stands in a park between Fő utca and Dózsa György utca. It is decorated with the coat of arms of Kakucsi-Liebner József and is classified as a historic memorial. Thus, a carved memorial post, a religious cross and a coat-of-arms-adorned memorial stand side by side.

Kakucs Ring first opened as a karting track in 2007. To use the go-karts, visitors must be at least 14 years old and taller than 150 centimetres; both requirements must be met. As the conditions may change, confirm them with the operator before visiting. Compared with Kakucs’s cultural attractions, this is a specific age and height rule to bear in mind when deciding.
