History

The Reformed pastor, who was the first to translate the Bible into Hungarian was born in Nagykároly around 1529. Between 1589 and 1590 he translated the Bible into Hungarian in Gönc, which was then printed in Vizsoly (hence the name Vizsoly Bible). His patron was Prince Rákóczi Zsigmond of Transylvania. The sculptor of the statue in the courtyard of the Reformed church was Deák Gáspár.
