History

The Fogolyán family, of Hungarian-Armenian origin, came from Marosludas to Sepsiszentgyörgy. The family's history in Háromszék County begins with Fogolyán Kristóf, whose son Kristóf, one of eight children, became a wholesaler in the town and married Fejér Mária-Rozália, the daughter of Fejér Lukács, the founder of the Rudolf Hospital in Kézdivásárhely. One of their sons, Dr. Fogolyán Kristóf (1878-1954), was a doctor from Sepsiszentgyörgy, known as the White Angel, who was considered the leading medical doctor in the Székely town for four decades. Dr. Fogolyán Kristóf also built a sanatorium in the town.
