History
The Piarists were settled down by the Palatine of Krakow, Stanislaw Lubomirsky in 1642 during the period when the town was pawned by Hungary to Poland. The buildings were built between 1647 and 1651. They were originally fortified. The first Piarist grammar school of Hungary was opened at that time in Podolin. The church was completed in 1671 and was dedicated to St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów, the martyr bishop of Krakow. In 1762 the church was reconstructed in Baroque style and the two towers were added.
The Hungarian writer Krúdy Gyula attended the Piarist grammar school of Podolin between 1888 and 1891. There is a plaque in memory of him on the wall of the monastery. Rákóczi Ferenc II was hiding here for some time in 1701 after he escaped from the prison of Wienerneustadt. He was the leader of the Hungarian War of Independence between 1703 and 1711.
On December 21, 1918 the Czechoslovak army invaded the town and they sent the students home. On August 24, 1919 the Czechoslovak invaders expropriated the Piarist grammar school, which ceased to function. The members of the Piarist order were expelled from the newly created Czechoslovakia. Later the equipments of the school could be transported to Hungary. In 1950 the Communists established a concentration camp in the building.
The Redemptorists settled down in the buildings for the first time between 1922 and 1927, for the second time in 1940 and finally in 1989.
