History

The Piarists arrived in Máramarossziget in 1730 and immediately started the education. In 1774 they began the construction of the building that included the convent and the grammar school. The new, spacious building of the Piarist grammar school was built between 1911 and 1912. The monastic order was banned by the communists and the building now houses a history museum.
