History
The formerly independent Kantafalva was founded in the early 17th century, its population was entirely Catholic, while in Kézdivásárhely there was a large Calvinist majority.
In 1696, Nagy Mózes built a school, a monastery and a church in Kantafalva. In 1680 Nagy Mózes invited Minorites to run the school and the church.
Construction of the neo-Baroque church began in 1701. The sanctuary of the church was built on the site of the old church, under which, among others, the ashes of the founder of the school, Nagy Mózes, are buried. In 1980, on the 300th anniversary of the founding of the school, the clergy of Háromszék placed a commemorative plaque on the north sanctuary wall.
The construction of the nave was started in 1779, completed in 1795 and consecrated in 1796 by Batthyány Ignác, Bishop of Transylvania. The 1802 earthquake damaged the tower, which was one of the tallest in Háromszék and had to be reduced to avoid any accidents, but it was rebuilt in 1823 by Mizó Illés. The foundation stone of the monastery was laid in 1722. The seminary, dormitory and school building, which adjoins the tower, was built with a donation of 4000 Hungarian forints from Bishop Haynald János. The west wing of the monastery was built in 1828. In 1949 the Minorites were expelled by the communists.
