History
The church's predecessor was first mentioned in 1264 and was dedicated to the All Saints. The Piarists were settled in Nagykároly by Károlyi Sándor (1669-1743) in 1727 to spread the Catholic religion and promote education.
It was originally built between 1769 and 1779 in Baroque-Classicist style as a votive church, designed by the Viennese architect Franz Sebastian Rosenstingl. The builder, Károlyi Antal, finally had a son after 10 years of marriage. In the same year, the founder of the Piarist order, Joseph Calasanz, was canonised. The Count attributed the birth of his first child to the intercession of St. Joseph Calasanz, and the newborn was given the name Joseph and a new church was built in honour of St. Joseph Calasanz. It was consecrated by Bishop Count Esterházy Károly. The paintings of its main altar and six side altars were painted in 1778-1780 by Johann Ignaz Cimbal, one of the outstanding figures of Baroque painting. On the north side are the altars of St Anthony of Padua, St Joseph and St Andrew of Avellino, and on the south side the altars of St John of Nepomuk, the Holy Trinity and the Hungarian Holy Kings. Its tower collapsed in the 1834 earthquake. It was restored and connected to the monastery building in 1857-60 according to the plans of Ybl Miklós. In 1891, it underwent minor alterations and renovations by Meining Artúr. The church has largely preserved its 18th century appearance.
