History
Once it was owned by the Jesuits, now it is the church of the Norbertines. It has a Renaissance facade, but the interior is Baroque. Above the entrance the united coat of arms of the Báthory and Rákóczi families can be seen.
The church was built between 1671 and 1681 by Emperor Leopold I from the ransom Báthory Zsófia paid for the life of his son, Rákóczi Ferenc I, after the unveiling of the Wesselényi-conspiracy against the Habsburg emperor. On the northern wall of the church a plaque (death epitaph) made of linden wood commemorates the death of Rákóczi Ferenc I in 1676. He was buried in the crypt of the church, just like his mother, Báthory Zsófia.
On September 6, 1619 Kőrösi Márk, canon of Esztergom, and two Jesuit fathers, Pongrácz István and Grodecz Menyhért, became martyrs here during the campaign of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania.
The monastery and the grammar school is connected to the church. The monastery was once a royal house (domus regia), later it became the seat of the Captain-in-Chiefs of Upper Hungary. The Hungarian princes of Transylvania (Bocskai István, Bethlen Gábor and Rákóczi György I) also stayed here with their court during their campaigns against the Habsburg emperors.
The Jesuit University founded by Bishop Kisdy Benedek of Eger in 1657 also worked in the building of the monastery. The founding diploma of the Academy of Kassa was written by Kisdy Benedek on February 26, 1657. Emperor Leopold I confirmed it in his diploma on August 7, 1660, and the academy was opened. Sorrowfully Kisdy could not live to see it, because he died on June 22. lt became Royal Academy from 1776. The academy ceased to exist in 1921 after the Czechoslovak invasion.
In 1787 Kazinczy Ferenc and Batsányi János visited the poet and priest Baróti Szabó Dávid, who tought here. They decided to establish the Hungarian Association of Kassa, which launched the first Hungarian-language literary journal, the Magyar Museum, in 1788.
