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. The oldest educational institution in present day Kovászna County was founded in 1680 by Nagy Mózes in his village, Esztelnek. In 1696 the school moved to Kanta, near Kézdivásárhely, which later became part of the town. In 1696, Nagy Mózes built a school, a monastery and a church in Kantafalva. The land was donated by Jankó Péter and his wife Domokos Zsuzsanna, and was supplemented by the land donated by Apor István of Altorja. As early as 1680, Nagy Mózes 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.
