Assumption Pauline-Piarist Church and Monastery

Nagyboldogasszony pálos-piarista templom és rendház

The early Gothic church (1280s), later was rebuilt in the Baroque facade. The "white friars" or Pauline monks began to build the monastery in the second half of the 13th century. The 14th-century early Gothic church of what is now the Piarist monastery, again in church ownership, gained its Baroque front in a later reconstruction. The Baroque high altar is by the sculptor János György Strécius of Lőcse. Ferenc Rákóczi was added the small chapel to the southern side of the church. The Pauline martyr György Csepellény, the counter-Reformation activist, rests in the crypt.
