History
The Roman Catholic Seminary, Seminarium Incarnatae Sapientiae (meaning Incarnate Wisdom) was founded in 1753 by Baron Sztojka Zsigmond Antal, Bishop of Transylvania (1749-1759). It had several locations within the fortresss. On the initiative of Bishop Batthyány Ignác (1780-1798), the buildings of the Trinitarian Order, which had been dissolved in 1783, were given a different purpose. A library and an astronomical observatory (Batthyáneum) were installed in the church building. The monastery became the seat of the theological institute and is still used today. In the second half of the 19th century, during the period of Bishop Fogarasy Mihály (186-1882), works were carried out on the southern part of the monastery, where a new wing was built. It took on its present form in the 20th century under Bishop Márton Áron (1939-1980).
