Kós Károly Prize was founded to recognize excellent achievements of individuals and communities protecting local architectural heritage and preserving architectural traditions. Every year it is awarded on or about December 16th, the birthday of a creator using motifs of Transylvanian folk art and historic Hungarian architectural monuments.

The auxiliary buildings once housed a stable, cart-shed and quarters for the staff. However, it is only one of the melléképület that has come down to us.
