History

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.
