History
The Perényi family built the church between 1370 and 1400 for the Franciscans in Gothic style. The church was reconstructed in Baroque style between 1718 and 1724. The monastery got Baroque appearance between 1764 and 1765, and the 2nd floor was also added at that time.
It was the seat of the bishop of Eger between 1597 and 1671. Afterwards it was recovered by the Franciscans, who dedicated it to St. Anthony of Padua. The guardian of the church was earlier St. Nicholas. With the establishment of the diocese of Kassa in 1804, the monastery became a seminary (priests were trained in the building).
Bishop Kisdy Benedek of Eger, the founder of the University of Kassa, is buried in the crypt. The founding diploma of the Academy of Kassa was written by Kisdy Benedek on February 26, 1657. Emperor Leopold I confirmed it in his diploma on August 7, 1660, and the academy was opened. Sorrowfully Kisdy could not live to see it, because he died on June 22.
