History
In 1751, Bishop Forgách Pál ordered the Cathedral Chapter to move from St. László Square to the vicinity of the Cathedral. Thereafter, the appointments of the new canons were made conditional on the construction of new canonry buildings. The first house was built by Canon Alapy János. The first three houses were completed in the 1750s. It was built in Baroque style with a neoclassical influence. The 253 m long corridor consists of 56 pillars and connects 10 buildings. It was built in several phases over more than 100 years, from 1753 to 1875, according to the plans of Franz Anton Hillebrandt and the ideas of Bishop Forgách Pál of Várad. The first 7 of the 10 buildings were completed by the beginning of July 1780, two more by 1863 and the 10th was finished in 1875, more than 100 years after the first building was started.
