History
Its predecessor was the town hospital, which moved to the Main Square in 1671. As it was a permanent focus of infection, in 1768 the Catholic Bishop ordered its removal to the former Minorite convent in Szentpéter. In 1818, the administration of parish of Szentpéter and the home for the elderly were united. It was then that it took the name of St. Francis and St. Elizabeth Home for the Poor Elderly. After the opening of the Karolina Hospital, from 1820, only the old people stayed here. The construction of the present building begun in 1855 and took its present form in 1870. A statue of St. Elizabeth can be seen in the niche of the tower above the street entrance of the symmetrical building. The parish was house in the west wing. From 1912, the Sisters of Mercy of Szarmár took care of the elderly, and in 1948 it became a state institution. At present the building is a state home for old people.
