History

Drugeth János X moved the Jesuits from Homonna to Ungvár and he built the church and the monastery for them. The monastery was built between 1640 and 1646 from the donation of the Drugeth family. In 1773 the Jesuit Order was dissolved by Pope Clement XIV. Then, the Greek Catholic Bishop of Munkács, Bacsinszky András, asked Empress Maria Theresia to move the bishopric to Ungvár, and to hand them over the former Jesuit church and college. The Greek Catholics took over the buildings in 1775, and, on the order of the monarch, architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt carried out alterations to the buildings. The chapel dedicated to the Assumption was established in the time of Bacsinszky András and was consecrated in 1780. The building gained its present form in 1846, when a new episcopal chapel was also established.
