In the 12th century, the Székelys who moved here from the area of today's Szászkézd founded Kézdiszék, whose centre later became Kézdivásárhely. The Székelys had equal rights with the nobles, owned their own land, paid mostly no taxes, and in return were obliged to go to war one by one to defend Hungary from foreign invasions. The settlement developed around a market place in the centre of the Upper Háromszék basin, at the junction of roads coming in from five directions. It was originally named Torjavására after the nearby village of Torja and the stream of the same name. Its present name appeared in the middle of the 16th century, when it was already a major town. The town became an important handicraft centre in Székelyland, and several guilds were established. During the 1848-1849 Hungarian War of Independence, it was the centre of defence for the Székely people of Háromszék, and it was here that Gábor Áron cast his cannons, and his statue has stood in the main square since 1971. In 1849, it was united with Kanta, which was famous for its grammar school run by Minorite fathers. In 1876, when the public administration was modernised, the Székely seats were abolished and then it became part of Háromszék County. From 1952 to 1960, it was part of the Hungarian autonomous region created under Soviet pressure, which was gradually abolished by the Romanians. In 1968 it became part of Kovászna County. It is now the easternmost Hungarian-majority town in the Carpathian Basin.

The K\u00e9zdi name refers to the area they came from. K\u00e9zdi was the name of the Sz\u00e9kely seat (an administrative unit) whose centre was in the town. It is still preserved in the town\u2019s name.@12th century|King G\u00e9za II of Hungary relocated the Sz\u00e9kelys living in the area of the present day town of Sz\u00e1szk\u00e9zd to this area. The king settled Saxons in their place, who founded Sz\u00e1szk\u00e9zd. The Sz\u00e9kelys were organized into special administrative units called seats (sz\u00e9k). They elected their leaders themselves, had equal rights with the nobles, owned their lands and were mostly exempt from taxation. In exchange for all these privileges, they were obliged to enlist as soldiers in the event of an external attack on Hungary.@#5|@#6|@1407|The settlement was mentioned for the first time as Torjawasara, which means Torja\u2019s fair in Hungarian. Torja was the name of the nearby stream and also of a village in the neighbourhood. The area probably belonged to this village, and the fairs were held here because it was situated in the centre of the Upper H\u00e1romsz\u00e9k Basin, in the junction of roads coming from five directions.@1427|King Sigismund of Hungary confirmed the settlement\u2019s right to hold fairs. It was called Torjav\u00e1s\u00e1ra.@1437|The union of the three nations (Unio Trium Nationum) was formed in K\u00e1polna (Union of K\u00e1polna). Sz\u00e9kelys were equal members of the union besides the Saxons and the Hungarian nobility. This union gained its true significance after 1570, when Transylvania became an independent principality due to the Turkish conquest of central Hungary. These three nations were represented in the Transylvanian Diet, and they elected the prince. Vlach migrants (mostly shepherds and peasants) were a small minority at the time and were excluded from the political power just like Hungarian peasants.@#8|@#9|@April, 1562|The Sz\u00e9kely assembly in Sz\u00e9kelyudvarhely organized the armed rebellion against King John II of Hungary in order to restore their privileges abolished by the king. The plan was that the Habsburg emperor would support their rebellion from outside. The captain of Hadad Castle, Sulyok Gy\u00f6rgy, defected to King Ferdinand I, so the Transylvanian army of King John II besieged the castle. An army of Germans and Hungarians, led by Balassa Menyh\u00e1rt, who had defected earlier, and Zay Ferenc, the captain of the Upper Hungary, set out to liberate the castle.@March 4, 1562|Balassa Menyh\u00e1rt and Zay Ferenc, Captain of Upper Hungary, defeated the Transylvanian army led by B\u00e1thory Istv\u00e1n, Captain of V\u00e1rad, in the Battle of Hadad. The Transylvanian defeat was caused by the fact that the vanguard led by N\u00e9methi Ferenc, against the orders of King John II, engaged the larger enemy army in battle prematurely. King John II was rescued by the armies of the pashas of Temesv\u00e1r and Buda, who attacked Balassa's army and pushed it back to Szatm\u00e1r, but Hadad remained in Ferdinand's hands.@June 20, 1562|The army of King John II defeated the Sz\u00e9kely rebels along the Ny\u00e1r\u00e1d River between Vaja and Kisg\u00f6rg\u00e9ny.

A narrow plot of land belonged to each house built by the craftsmen settling around the market square. The latter generations built their houses behind the house facing the square, without leaving any space between the houses. A narrow stip of land was left along the row of houses, which was used as a common courtyard, called \u2019udvart\u00e9r\u2019. These courtyards later became streets. Originally they were named after the families, later they were given numbers. 70 out of the 73 courtyards have been preserved by now, and they determine the character of the town so much, that it is called the 'town of the courtyards' (udvarterek v\u00e1rosa).@#27|@1763|Empress Maria Theresia reorganized the border guard. She set up three Sz\u00e9kely and two Vlach border regiments. They started the forced conscription of the Sz\u00e9kelys, who resisted in defence of their traditions and privileges. The imperial army led by Baron Siskovics J\u00f3zsef attacked M\u00e1d\u00e9falva, where the Sz\u00e9kely leaders had gathered, and massacred 200 Sz\u00e9kelys, including women and children, with savage cannon fire on 7 January 1764.

Their main base was in Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld. They could not mobilize large masses due to the apathy that became widespread in Hungary. The conspiracy was revealed by an agent of the Habsburgs, who infiltrated into their ranks.@March 10, 1854|Three leaders of the Makk Conspiracy (T\u00f6r\u00f6k J\u00e1nos, Horv\u00e1th K\u00e1roly and G\u00e1lffy Mih\u00e1ly) were executed in Marosv\u00e1s\u00e1rhely.

This triggered a huge wave of refugees from Transylvania, as the population feared a repeat of the Romanian ethnic cleansing of 1848-49. The Romanians invaded most of Sz\u00e9kelyland. Austro-Hungarian and German forces drove the invaders out of the country by mid-October and occupied Bucharest on 6 December. Romania surrendered and signed a peace treaty with the central powers on 7 May 1918 (Treaty of Bucharest).@1918|On 3 November, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy signed the Armistice of Padua. The already defeated Romania then declared war on Germany on 10 November, just one day before the Germans signed the armistice near Compi\u00e8gne.

It was the only well-equipped, combat-ready Hungarian military force to fight against the Romanian conquerors. At its peak it numbered about 12,000. In Hungary, the political power was usurped by the pro-Entente left-wing government of K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly, which let down the Sz\u00e9kely Division and disbanded the Hungarian military. The communists, to whom K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly conceded the power, were also hostile towards the Sz\u00e9kely Division. Later most of its soldiers took part in the North Campaign that temporarily liberated a significant part of northern Hungary from the Czech invaders.@from 1918|By 1922, 197,000 Hungarians were forced to leave the Romanian-occupied part of the country.

From Maros-Torda County alone, 4000 Hungarians, including 450 children, were deported to Barcaf\u00f6ldv\u00e1r (near Brass\u00f3) and other camps (e.g. Tagru Jiu) only from Maros-Torda County.

It was during this renovation that the lower two floors were given their neoclassical style features. The present stone pulpit was made in the early 19th century and donated to the church by Jancs\u00f3 M\u00e1ria in 1843. The pulpit canpoy was made in 1843 and the Lord's table in 1844.

In 1696 the school moved to Kanta, near K\u00e9zdiv\u00e1s\u00e1rhely, which later became part of the town. In 1696, Nagy M\u00f3zes built a school, a monastery and a church in Kantafalva. The land was donated by Jank\u00f3 P\u00e9ter and his wife Domokos Zsuzsanna, and was supplemented by the land donated by Apor Istv\u00e1n of Altorja. As early as 1680, Nagy M\u00f3zes wrote to the Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith (Congregatio de Propaganda Fide) and asked for and received Minorite Fathers to spread the faith. For centuries, this school educated scholars and patriots, regardless of denomination. In 1751, the school moved to a new, more spacious building. In 1899, the school in Kanta was transformed into the Catholic High School. The foundation stone of the new building was laid on 22 October 1905. In 1977, the school was converted into an industrial lyceum, and in January 1990 it was reorganised as a theoretical lyceum, taking the name of its founder.\n&\nkezdimuemlekepuletei.wordpress.com: Kantai barokk m\u0171eml\u00e9kegy\u00fcttes|https:\/\/kezdimuemlekepuletei.wordpress.com\/kantai-barokk-muemlekegyuttes\/"},{"sightId":2116,"townId":80,"active":1,"name_LO":"","address":"Strada \u015ecolii 8, T\u00e2rgu Secuiesc 525400, Rom\u00e1nia","mapdata":"1|849|1580","gps_lat":"46.0011449431","gps_long":"26.1356535991","religion":2,"oldtype":"4","newtype":"4","homepage":"https:\/\/kezdimuemlekepuletei.wordpress.com\/reformatus-felekezeti-iskola-reformatus-parokia\/","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"","picture_ref":"","name":"Former Calvinist School, Calvinist Parish","seolink":"former-calvinist-school-calvinist-parish","note":"","history":"The two adjacent buildings on School Street, which could be mirror images of each other, are owned by the Reformed Church.
