History

The Calvinist (Reformed) secondary school was founded in 1646, and was owned by the Reformed Church of Zilah until 1816, when it was taken over by the Transylvanian Reformed Diocese. In the 1830s, Baron Wesselényi Miklós took over the school's expenses and paid the teachers. After his death, the school was named after him. The poet Ady Endre was a student of the school between 1892 and 1896.

1892 és 1896 között a diákja volt Ady Endre.
