History

The oldest church in Dés was built by the Augustinian monks in the 12th century. In 1703, after the Reformation, Franciscan Father Lamprich Imre arrived in the town, but he could not stay because of the Hungarian War of Independence between 1703 and 1711. From 1712 Fr. Verner Konrád celebrated mass in the remains of the Augustinian monastery. He built 4 cells and a small chapel. The parish church was completed by 1730. In 1756, a cemetery chapel was built on the Rose Hill in honour of the Ascension of Our Lord.

In 1952, a large group of Franciscans were taken into custody in Dés, and the leadership was based here until they were imprisoned. Böjte Csaba also began his monastic life in this monastery.

From 1750 there was also an elementary school. The Sisters of Mercy ran a boys' school from 1829 and a girls' school from 1864. In 1929 the grammar school was closed. The parish is still run by the Franciscans.
