History

It was founded in 1855 by Canon Fogarassy Mihály on the occasion of the engagement of Emperor Franz Joseph to Queen Elisabeth. The convent was created in the 1860s by converting an 18th century building on the plot of land donated by Mrs Krauser György for the establishment of a kindergarten. Bishop Schlauch Lőrinc established a kindergarten here in 1891 and a civil school from 1894.
