History
The convent was built in 1892 with the support of the Károlyi family, Bishop Lajcsák Ferenc of Nagyvárad, and the Catholic parish. It functioned as a six-class elementary school and orphanage. The orphanage had to be abandoned by the nuns during the nationalisation of 1948. In 2004 the nuns returned to Nagykároly and in 2007 they were given the building for 49 years. It has been renovated and serves as a children's home.
