History

In 1719, the Jesuits bought the house built by master tailor Nagy Szabó Ferenc in 1623, which they converted into a monastery. Nagy Szabó Ferenc was a well-off citizen and the judge of Görgény Castle. He took part in the campaigns of the princes of Transylvania. In 1614 he went to Constantinople as Transylvanian envoy. His memoirs, written in the 1650s, are an important historical source.
