History
At the end of the 15th century, the Perényi family founded the Franciscan monastery on a hill south of Ugocsa Castle. The remains of St. John of Capistrano were kept here after the Battle of Mohács in 1526. He is also called 'the Soldier Saint', because in 1456 at age 70 he organized a crusade in Hungary against the invading Ottoman Empire. His army joined the Hungarian military commander Hunyadi János, who succesfully defeated the Turks at the siege of Belgrade.
After having converted to Calvinist faith, the locals stormed the monastery and killed the Franciscan monks in 1556. The body of St. John of Capistrano was thrown into a well.
The Franciscans were recalled by the Perényi family in 1668 and the noble manor house of Bánffy Gábor was bought for them. The new monastery burned down in 1747. After the fire, it was rebuilt in Baroque style. The Franciscan church was also built at that time, and was rebuilt in 1889.
The Soviet invaders drove away the Franciscan monks in 1945. A town museum was opened in the monastery. The church was taken over by the Orthodox Church and then stood empty for a long time. The church was reclaimed by the Catholic Church in 1989 and had to be completely renovated.
