History

A school and internship also belonged to the church. Archbishop Eszterházy Imre of Esztergom invited the Ursuline nuns to the town in 1724. The remains of the martyrs of Kassa rest under the altar of Virgin Mary. On September 6, 1619 Kőrösi Márk, canon of Esztergom, and two Jesuit fathers, Pongrácz István and Grodecz Menyhért, became martyrs in Kassa during the campaign of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania.

The foundation stone was laid in 1729 but the church was only consecrated in 1776. It was built in Baroque style. The school was continuously expanding. In 1877 the 5th and 6th classes of the primary school opened. In 1891 a civic school of 4 classes was opened. In 1894 a girl's school of four classes was opened. In 1902 a spacious two-story building was built for the school.
