History
Following the Dominican monks who settled in the 13th century, the Franciscans arrived in Marosvásárhely in 1316. According to a record from 1525, the Franciscans also ran a monastic school. During the Reformation, a significant part of the town's population became Calvinist, and it was only with the activities of the Jesuit monks, who settled in 1702, that Catholic education was restored, under the leadership of Father Endes István.
From 1708, secondary education was also introduced.
The plans of architect Kőrösi Albert-Kálmán won the competition for the new school building, but after several changes of location, the school was built between 1903-1905 by the Transylvanian Roman Catholic State based on plans by Pápai Sándor tailored to a more modest budget. The contractor was Csiszár Lajos. A dormitory was added in 1908.
The building complex on Klastrom Street, the Rákóczi Ferenc II Roman Catholic Grammar School, was nationalised by the communist state in 1948. When the building complex was returned to the church in 2004, the Bolyai Farkas Theoretical Lyceum was the new home of Catholic education. The Catholic educational institution moved back to the building in 2015. From September 2018, the former dormitory building will be home to the re-launched Rákóczi Ferenc II Roman Catholic Theological Lyceum, which will provide education at elementary, high school and lyceum level.
