History

Next to the railway station, in the district formerly known as Fox Town, is the imposing 17th-century Baroque Franciscan church and monastery. It is now the seat of the internationally renowned children's rescue centre, the St. Francis Foundation of Déva established by Father Böjte Csaba and the Roman Catholic Lyceum of Déva, with instruction in Hungarian.
