History
In 1726, the Minorite Order returned to the town after the Reformation. Construction began in 1741 on the elevation above the Great Market. Between 1760 and 1767 the baroque church of St. Anthony of Padua was built. The bell tower was built between 1892-94 on the site of the former wooden bellfry. Its altarpiece was made in 1894 by J. Hofrichter, and is a copy of a painting of the Madonna of Foligno by Rafaello. On two sides are statues of St Anthony of Padua and St Rosalia of Palermo, the patron saint of plague patients. In 1903 the monastery was extended with a new wing. From 1896 to 1916, the theology of the Minorites was moved here from Eger, and between the two world wars the novitiate was located here.
In 1948, the monastery was nationalised under the School Act. The garden belonging to the order was also confiscated and the theatre was built there. In 1951, the minorities were also deported to a forced residence. In 1999, the diocese took over the care of the monastery and the church. In 1723, the first Jesuit appeared in Marosvásárhely in the person of Fr. Endes István, sent from Kolozsvár by the provincial superior. He built the parish church in the town centre in Baroque style and the adjacent monastery. In 2008 the Jesuit monks returned. The Jesuit University Chaplaincy and Dormitory of Marosvásárhely and the Jesuit Community House of Fr Endes István are located in the monastery.
