History

The Great Seminary was built in the second half of the 18th century. The Chapel of St. László can be found upstairs. Its library was founded in 1771, it is the 3rd largest library of present-day Slovakia. It has 66 thousand books mostly in Latin, Hungarian and German language. The northeastern wing of the Great Seminary was turned into a library of the diocese between 1877 and 1878 at the initiative of Bishop Roskoványi Ágoston.
