History

After the Romanian invasion, the Brancovenesc style, a distinctly Romanian architectural style, also made its appearance in Nagyvárad. This style was developed in the 17th century under the rule of Constantin Brancoveanu, Voivode of Wallachia, and was a combination of Renaissance, Baroque and Vlach folk architecture. The seminary building was built in 1846 and rebuilt between 1925 and 1928 according to the designs of Sallerbeck Antal. The contractor was Papp János.
