History
In 1579, Prince Báthory István of Transylvania founded a Jesuit school in Kolozsmonostor. A few years later, he moved the Jesuits to Kolozsvár. In 1580, the order received the buildings of the former Franciscan monastery, also on Farkas Street. In 1603 the Jesuits were expelled from Kolozsvár. In 1615 they returned to Kolozsmonostor.
When Emperor Leopold I returned the Jesuits their properties, the order reopened their school in Kolozsvár and began large-scale building works. The seminary building, which was completed in 1728, was erected from a donation by Apor István.
After the Jesuit order was dissolved by the Pope in 1773, the college became a state institution under the name Collegium Theresianum. By decree of Empress Maria Theresa of 7 June 1776, the scool was taken over by the Piarists. The official name of the institution became the Royal Academic Lyceum, which functioned as a university with faculties of law and medicine. The lectures were held in a building on the site of the present lyceum.
On 28 August 1784, Emperor Joseph II downgraded the college to a lyceum, in common with the universities of Austria. In 1787, when the decree came into force, the theological faculty was moved to Gyulafehervár, while the faculties of humanities, law and medicine and surgery continued to function unchanged. The Faculty of Law was abolished in 1849, the Faculty of Humanities in 1850, the Faculty of Medicine became an independent institution, and the Academic Lyceum continued its activities as a Catholic grammar school from 1850. On 3 August 1948, the monastic orders were abolished and denominational schools were nationalised. Since April 1999 it officially bears the name of its founder, Báthory István.
After the fire of 1798, the building had to be demolished. The present building was built between 1817 and 1821, designed by the engineer Friedrich Thallinger.
On the facade of the building is a baroque statue of St Joseph in a niche, with the inscription "Tu Eris Super Domum Meam". It is the work of Johannes Nachtigall. To the left of the dark, narrow entrance corridor is a plaque commemorating the Armenian merchant Bulbuk Emánuel (1821-1897), who made a donation for the education of boys. In the courtyard, in a niche above an inner gate, there is a statue of the founder, Báthory István, by Vágó Gábor from 1933. The inner gate is a miniature copy of the Renaissance gate of the Báthory Castle in Silágysomlyó.
