History
The school was built by Bishop Majláth Károly Gusztáv (1897-1938) between 1903 and 1906 in neoclassical style. It house the Roman Catholic Grammar School until 1948, when it was nationalised.
In the Middle Ages it was the site of a Dominican convent and church, which the Báthory family handed over to the Jesuits who settled there in 1579. After only twenty years of teaching, the Jesuits had to leave the town. Behind the main building still stands part of the monastery, a single-storey building. It housed the famous library of the Bethlen Academy, which was burnt down and destroyed by the Turkish-Tatar armies in 1661. In 1716, the Jesuits regained their confiscated buildings and re-established a college, where they remained until the dissolution of the order in 1778. Then the Roman Catholic theology briefly moved into the building. Thereafter, until 1898, when the church and the monastery were demolished, priests and lay teachers taught in the predecessor of the Grammar school.
In 1991, the Romanian University of 1 December 1918 was founded and the building is now the seat of the University.
