History
After Prince Báthory István of Transylvania bought back the Benedictine abbey of Kolozsmonostor and entrusted it to the Jesuits, he built a castle from the ruins of the monastery of St. Benedict, including a chapel in honour of the Virgin Mary of Sorrows. The Jesuits moved here in 1579. The chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows was housed in the Báthori House until 1902. Since the building had already become the property of the Academy of Economics in 1894, the chapel was also shut down in 1902, and Kolin István, the parish priest and Holy See councillor, had the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows built opposite the Báthori House, together with the parish house. The new parish church was consecrated by Bishop Majláth Gusztáv Károly on 14 June 1902. Due to the gradual population growth in the area, the sanctuary part of the chapel was demolished in 1942 and a wider, more spacious nave with a new semicircular apse was built in its place.
