History

The Piarists were settled in Nagykároly by Károlyi Sándor (1669-1743) in 1727 with the aim of spreading the Catholic religion and promoting education.

The monastery was built in 1727. After the earthquake of 1834, it was rebuilt between 1861 and 1863 by the architect Ybl Miklós, and in 1889 a storey was added to it, based on the plans of the architect Nonn Gyula from Nagykároly. The building is currently used by the Piarist sisters as a girls' orphanage.
