The town on the banks of the Szamos River was formed by the merger of two municipalities, Szatmár and Németi. The castle of Szatmár was the centre of the county founded by St Stephen of Hungary, and its name derives from the ancient Hungarian personal name Zothmar. Németi, to the north, was founded by royal hunters settled there by his Bavarian wife, Queen Gisela. Szatmár is the centre of the plain named after it. Three castles stood here in succession, of which unfortunately nothing remains today. Szatmár gained its true significance only after the Battle of Mohács, when two kings were elected to the Hungarian throne, because it was located in the frontier between the two realms. This was in fact a struggle to preserve independent Hungarian statehood against the hegemony of the Habsburg Empire. The last castle was destroyed by order of Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II, after the German guards had been forced to surrender during the 1703-1711 Hungarian War of Independence, to prevent it from falling into the hands of the invaders again. It was here that the Peace of Szatmár was signed in 1711, ending the War of Independence. At the end of the 18th century, the county seat was moved to Nagykároly thanks to the influence of the Károlyi family. In 1804, King Francis I (Emperor Francis II) made it an episcopal see, and its cathedral was built by Bishop Hám János. One of the most famous buildings in the town is the Art Nouveau former Pannonia Hotel, built in 1902. Until the Trianon Dictate after World War I, the town was almost entirely Hungarian, with a small Romanian minority. In the 1970s, in order to reach the Romanian majority, the dictator Ceausescu had a new socialist town centre built, which, if not beautiful, at least gave the town an interesting new image.

Szabolcs and Tas, Hungarian chieftains, conquered the castle of Szatm\u00e1r from him by siege in three days. The gesta genre, contrary to the chronicle, mixed reality with fiction with the purpose of entertaining and also exaggerating the deeds of a royal family. The existence of M\u00e9nr\u00f3t is not confirmed by any other sources nor by archeological findings, so he and his country is most likely a creation of the writer. Romanian historians refer to the Gesta Hungarorum as the absolute truth carved in stone, only because neither contemporary sources nor archeological evidences prove the existence of Romanian states before the Hungarian conquest. The name Szatm\u00e1r comes from the ancient Hungarian personal name Zothmar (the name of Comes Zothmar). The traditional Romanian name S\u0103tmar comes from the Hungarian. In 1925, after the Romanian occupation, the town's name was changed to Satu Mare meaning 'large village' (satu[l] mare), because it sounded similar to the Hungarian name Szatm\u00e1r.@#3|@Around 1000|Queen Gisela, the wife of King Stephen I of Hungary, settled royal hunters, who founded the settlement of N\u00e9meti.@11th century|Szatm\u00e1r was a hillfort surrounded by the river Szamos on all sides.

In 1804, when the bishopric of Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti was founded, the church was elevated to the status of a cathedral. Bishop Baron Fischer Istv\u00e1n (1804-1807) planned and started the extension and raising of the sanctuary. The work was completed by Bishop Klobusiczky P\u00e9ter. The two sacristies with the oratory above them, and the bishop's crypt were completed at this time. Bishop H\u00e1m J\u00e1nos started building the cathedral, which is still visible today. The nave of the church was then extended with a circular dome and two aisles. The old tower of the church was demolished and the two new towers were built, as well as the entrance hall between the two towers, resting on six huge stone pillars. The exterior architecture is predominantly neoclassical (only some baroque elements remain), while the interior has a stronger baroque influence. Some consider Hild J\u00f3zsef to be the designer.@The main altarpiece \u0022The Ascension of Christ\u0022 was painted by Pesky J\u00f3zsef, and the dome painting \u0022Twelve-year-old Jesus in the Church\u0022 by Reidler J\u00e1nos. The high altar was made by F\u00e9lix Tom\u00e1n from Carrara marble(1905). The organ was made in 1925. One of its sacristies is temporarily home to the Bishop's Picture Gallery. The bishops of Szatm\u00e1r are buried in the crypt under the cathedral. @At the top of the cathedral is a statue of the Heart of Jesus, with statues of St Peter and St Paul on either side. The ground-floor niches of the towers contain the statues of two Hungarian kings, St Stephen and St L\u00e1szl\u00f3.

The bell cast by Georg Wierd in Eperjes in 1633, is now on display next to the pulpit. The church is surrounded by the former \u0022Reformed centre\u0022 of the town: the Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti Reformed Grammar School, the dean's office (the Calvineum is also located here), three other Reformed school buildings (the girls' grammar schools and the \u0022Red Brick\u0022 school) and the parish.@The Hungarian term for Calvinist is \u0022reform\u00e1tus\u0022. The town of Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti joined the Reformation fairly early (between 1527 and 1535). The former Catholic church, the parish church of the town, was their place of worship for more than a century. The church was officially given to the Reformed congregation by Prince Bethlen G\u00e1bor of Transylvania in 1622. In 1662, Imperial General Cobb recaptured the building for the Catholics. The Calvinists then started building a new church in the square in front of the present church. In 1703 the anti-Habsburg kuruc insurgents of R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Ferenc II set Szatm\u00e1r on fire. The church, together with the adjacent Reformed grammar school, was destroyed in the flames. The population that had fled only returned to the town in 1705. From 1707 onwards, with the permission of R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Ferenc II, the Calvinists held their services in the castle's food warehouse. In 1725, a new wooden Reformed church was built in the town. The present church was built behind the building destroyed in 1703, in the old cemetery. The plans were drawn by Preinlich Zsigmond, master mason.@On 16 September 1944, the church was hit by a heavy bombing raid, which collapsed the ceiling and destroyed a large part of the furnishings. In fact, only the side walls and the tower remained intact. The most basic works were completed by 1947, and the congregation was able to use the church again in November, but the minor works were delayed until 1957. To commemorate the tragic bombing and the rebuilding of the church, the presbytery had a marble plaque erected, which also preserves one of the bomb shards drilled into the wall. The church takes its name from the low chain fence that surrounds it."},{"sightId":1052,"townId":53,"active":2,"name_LO":"Biserica Calvaria","address":"Strada Mihai Eminescu 3","mapdata":"1|994|1263","gps_lat":"47.7903310000","gps_long":"22.8754020000","religion":1,"oldtype":"1","newtype":"1","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"https:\/\/www.muemlekem.hu\/hatareset\/Jezus-Szive-kalvariatemplom-Szatmarnemeti-1752","csemadoklink":"https:\/\/lexikon.adatbank.transindex.ro\/muemlek.php?id=315","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Vyografu, CC BY-SA 4.0 \u003Chttps:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:AA6A8292.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022AA6A8292\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/f\/fa\/AA6A8292.jpg\/512px-AA6A8292.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:AA6A8292.jpg\u0022\u003EVyografu\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\u0022\u003ECC BY-SA 4.0\u003C\/a\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons","name":"Sacred Heart of Jesus Calvary Church","seolink":"sacred-heart-of-jesus-calvary-church","note":"","history":"The first Calvary Chapel was built on this site in 1844 by Bishop H\u00e1m J\u00e1nos, based on the plans of Tischler Albin, parish priest of the village of Csal\u00e1nos.

The work, which began after the foundation stone was laid on 16 July 1910, was supervised by the architect himself and was completed in 1913.\n&\nmagyarkurir.hu: \u00daj f\u00e9nyben ragyog a szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti Szent J\u00f3zsef-templom|https:\/\/www.magyarkurir.hu\/hirek\/uj-fenyben-ragyog-szatmarnemeti-szent-jozsef-templom"},{"sightId":1059,"townId":53,"active":1,"name_LO":"Biserica Adormirea Maicii Domnului","address":"Bulevardul Vasile Lucaciu","mapdata":"1|1677|1133","gps_lat":"47.7910980000","gps_long":"22.8813160000","religion":5,"oldtype":"1","newtype":"1","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"https:\/\/www.muemlekem.hu\/hatareset\/Az-Istenszulo-elszenderulese-ortodox-katedralis-Szatmarnemeti-3541","csemadoklink":"","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022The original uploader was Pixi at Romanian Wikipedia., CC BY 2.5 <https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.5>, via Wikimedia Commons\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:SM3.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022256\u0022 alt=\u0022SM3\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/c\/cf\/SM3.jpg\/256px-SM3.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:SM3.jpg\u0022\u003EThe original uploader was Pixi at Romanian Wikipedia.\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.5\u0022\u003ECC BY 2.5\u003C\/a\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons","name":"Assumption Orthodox Cathedral","seolink":"assumption-orthodox-cathedral","note":"","history":"The Romanian church was built in the Neo-Byzantine style between 1937 and 1938, designed by G.

Its main attraction is the Teacher's Room, with ornate murals depicting the Reformed synod in Szatm\u00e1r in 1546, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Karolyi G\u00e1sp\u00e1r and other reformers.@\nThe Reformed secondary school was founded in the first half of the 16th century, the exact date of its foundation is unknown. It was Milotai Nyilas Istv\u00e1n, who moved to Szatm\u00e1r in 1607, who, as the town's pastor, later dean and finally bishop of the diocese of Tisz\u00e1nt\u00fal (the region beyond the Tisza river), organised the school's operation as a secondary school. In 1608, the land was purchased for the school, on which the Reformed Grammar School operated until the nationalisation of 1948, in a building that was continuously extended over time. In 1749 (due to the earlier merger of the towns of Szatm\u00e1r and N\u00e9meti), the school was merged with the Reformed grammar school of N\u00e9meti. In 1754, as part of the Counter-Reformation, the school was downgraded to a two-class (sub)grammar school. At the beginning of the 19th century it became a six-class school again. Between 1813 and 1822, the first stone building was built on the old site (for the time being only one storey). This can be considered the predecessor of the building that still stands today (another storey was added later). Between 1849 and 1859, as part of the retaliation for the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence, it could only function as an elementary school and private school. In 1890, the institution became a main grammar school. In 1892, the second floor was added, designed by Szikszay Lajos (the building took its present form).@\nIn 1903, the Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti Reformed Teachers' Training School was opened within the grammar school (as a supplement to the upper girls' school). In 1916, the Reformed Commercial High School was established within the Girls' High School. The Romanian invaders downgraded it to a private school in 1924 and to an elementary school in 1928. As a result of the sacrificial work of Ligeti Imre, the headmaster, defying also the Romanian authorities, the school managed to become the largest school in the country (Romania) by the early 1930s, even as a private school. Even after that, they were subjected to constant obstacles, for example, in 1936 all students failed their school-leaving exams because of their insufficient knowledge of Romanian. The school was nationalised in 1948. The only Hungarian secondary school was established in the main building of the Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti Reformed Grammar School (the building of the boy's school), which was the only one to replace all the Hungarian institutions in the town that had been closed down. This institution is now known as K\u00f6lcsey Ferenc Grammar School. K\u00f6lcsey Ferenc is the famous poet who wrote the Hungarian national anthem. In addition, on 2 July 1991, the Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti Reformed Grammar School was re-established on its old premises.\n&\nwikipedia: Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti Reform\u00e1tus Gimn\u00e1zium|https:\/\/hu.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Szatm%C3%A1rn%C3%A9meti_Reform%C3%A1tus_Gimn%C3%A1zium"},{"sightId":1065,"townId":53,"active":1,"name_LO":"Colegiul Na\u021bional \u0022Mihai Eminescu\u0022","address":"Strada Mihai Eminescu 5","mapdata":"1|1084|1424","gps_lat":"47.7894520000","gps_long":"22.8761760000","religion":1,"oldtype":"74","newtype":"74","homepage":"https:\/\/www.eminescusm.ro\/","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"","picture_ref":"","name":"Former Hungarian Royal Catholic Grammar School","seolink":"former-hungarian-royal-catholic-grammar-school","note":"","history":"The Jesuits were invited to Nagyk\u00e1roly by the K\u00e1rolyi family in 1630, but moved to Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti in around 1640 due to the proximity of the Turks.

The Pauline Order was banned by Emperor Joseph II in 1786, and the school was closed.@In 1804, Bishop Fischer Istv\u00e1n opened the lyceum and asked the king to open a grammar school.

Its model won second prize at the 1903 World Architecture Exhibition in Vienna.@\nIn 1897, the idea of building a hotel and a concert hall in the main square of Szatm\u00e1rn\u00e9meti was raised among the town officials. The plan's biggest supporter was the mayor, Herm\u00e1n Mih\u00e1ly. In 1897, a tender was announced for the design of the new hotel, the most important criterion being that the building should have a Hungarian character.

The guilds' obligations included the provision of fire-fighting equipment and participation in fire-fighting, but the citizens of the town also formed a voluntary fire-fighting association. Fires were first observed from church towers, then from the tower of the town hall, and after the demolition of the latter in 1900, from the tower of the cathedral. The fire brigade built its barracks near the new fire tower in 1906.@With the development of technology and the advent of the telephone, the tower lost its function between the two world wars and was not used again until the late 1960s. At that time, the Ministry of the Interior placed antennas on the roof. After the Romanian Revolution in 1989, it was again left without function, by which time it had deteriorated.@It was renovated and opened to the public in 2005. During the renovation, the World War II bullet holes were deliberately preserved, but the original plaques on the sides were replaced with only partial inscriptions.
