History

It was built by Canon Kádár Ambrus with the help of Bishop Boromisza Tibor of Szatmár. It was added to the orphanage founded in 1889 by Abbot-Canon Irsik Ferenc, based on the plans of Foerk Ernő, a senior professor of architecture in Budapest. For the sake of keeping the proportions of the structure, he built a wing on the other side of the church similar to the orphanage. 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.
