In the 12th century, Sepsiszék and its centre Szentgyörgy was founded by Székelys that were moved from the area of today's Szászsebes. The name of the Székely seat, Sepsi, is derived from the name of the former settlement of its inhabitants. The Székelys had equal rights with the nobles, owned their own land, paid mostly no taxes, but in return they were obliged to go to war one by one to defend Hungary from foreign invasions. From the middle of the 15th century, Szentgyörgy was called a town. In 1562, three Székely seats (Sepsiszék, Orbaiszék and Kézdiszék) were united under the name of Háromszék (Three seats), and its centre became Sepsiszentgyörgy. In 1764 it became the station of a Hussar border guard regiment. In 1848, thanks to Gábor Áron, the people of Háromszék declared to join the Hungarian War of Independence in the ceremonial hall of the headquarters of Háromszék. Gábor Áron and his companions cast cannons from bells in the foundries of Háromszék for the War of Independence. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, with the support of Count Mikó Imre, the new building of the Reformed College was constructed, which later took the name of the Reformed Székely Mikó College. The Székely National Museum, designed by Kós Károly, was opened in the town. The famous architect enriched the town's image with several buildings. In 1876, when the public administration was modernised, the Székely seats were abolished and the town became the seat of Háromszék County. From 1952 to 1960, it was part of the Hungarian autonomous region, created under Soviet pressure, which was gradually abolished by the Romanians. In 1968 it became the seat of Kovászna County. It is still a Hungarian majority town.

The Sepsi (originally sebesi) name refers to where they came from. The King of Hungary settled Saxons in their place, who established the town of Sz\u00e1szsebes. Sebes is the name of its river and it means swift in Hungarian. The Sz\u00e9kelys were organized into special administrative units called seats (sz\u00e9k). They elected their leaders themselves, had equal rights with the nobles, owned their lands and were mostly exempt from taxation. In exchange for all these privileges, they were obliged to enlist as soldiers in the event of an external attack on Hungary.@#5|@1252|According to a document, the area was inhabited by Hungarians. Probably Bulgarian-Slavic population lived in the neighbourhood before them based on the place names.@#6|@1332|The settlement was mentioned for the first time as Sancto Georgio.@1427|King Sigismund of Hungary stayed in Szentgy\u00f6rgy. He took part in delivering justice at the seat gathering on 12 May, therefore the settlement was probably the centre of the Sz\u00e9kely seat. The royal diplomas issued here called the settlement Zenthgywrgy and Zentgeurg, but it wasn\u2019t called town.@1437|The three nations of Transylvania (the Hungarian nobility, the Sz\u00e9kelys and the Saxons) formed an alliance in K\u00e1polna (Union of K\u00e1polna). This union gained its true significance after 1570, when Transylvania became an independent principality due to the Turkish conquest of central Hungary. These three nations were represented in the Transylvanian Diet, and they elected the prince. Vlach migrants (mostly shepherds and peasants) were a small minority at the time and were excluded from the political power just like Hungarian peasants.@January 9, 1448|Hunyadi J\u00e1nos delivered justice at the gathering of the Seat of Sepsi (Sepsisz\u00e9k).@#7|@1459|Sepsi Seat was called the Seat of Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy.@October 22, 1461|The settlement was called oppidum for the first time.

In 1786, the outer wall of the fortification, damaged by the Turkish and Tatar invasions of 1658 and 1661, was demolished.@\nThe nave of the church, which collapsed in the 1802 earthquake, was replaced in 1805 with a flat, plastered ceiling, and in 1829 the bell tower was built (on the site of the former gate tower, which had also collapsed). The fortification's inner wall was also damaged in the earthquake of 1802. In 1894, a new organ loft was built at the east end of the sanctuary. The 1940 earthquake damaged the church and the defensive walls. The walls were restored in the middle of the last century, when the upper part of the north side was rebuilt. The monument church was repaired in 1978 and the defensive walls were rebuilt in 1979-1980.\n&\nwikipedia: Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgyi reform\u00e1tus templom|https:\/\/hu.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sepsiszentgy%C3%B6rgyi_reform%C3%A1tus_templom"},{"sightId":2066,"townId":79,"active":1,"name_LO":"Biserica Sf\u00e2ntul Iosif","address":"Pia\u021ba Libert\u0103\u021bii 1","mapdata":"1|472|1897","gps_lat":"45.8637403869","gps_long":"25.7857984980","religion":1,"oldtype":"1","newtype":"1","homepage":"http:\/\/szentjozsef.katolikussepsi.ro\/","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Nicu farcas, CC BY 2.5 <https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.5>, via Wikimedia Commons\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:RO_CV_Sf_Gheorghe_5.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022256\u0022 alt=\u0022RO CV Sf Gheorghe 5\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/9\/91\/RO_CV_Sf_Gheorghe_5.jpg\/256px-RO_CV_Sf_Gheorghe_5.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:RO_CV_Sf_Gheorghe_5.jpg\u0022\u003ENicu farcas\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.5\u0022\u003ECC BY 2.5\u003C\/a\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons","name":"St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church","seolink":"st-joseph-roman-catholic-church","note":"","history":"The church was built in 1835 on the site of a small church built in 1786.

It is currently maintained by Kov\u00e1szna County. The Sz\u00e9kely National Museum Foundation, re-registered at the end of 1992, provides ongoing support to the museum (research funding, collection development, infrastructure, publication funding).@\nThe idea of founding a Sz\u00e9kely museum was first raised by Fekete S\u00e1muel in 1868. The museum was founded in 1875 by Zathureczky Emilia, widow of Cserey J\u00e1nos, in Imecsfalva. Her co-founder was the first museum keeper, Vasady Nagy Gyula, who published his programme speech as the first text publication of the museum in 1877. In the same year, their most valuable artefact was added to the collection, the Apor Codex, which contains, among other things, the Book of Psalms from the so-called Hussite Bible (the oldest surviving Hungarian Bible translation), and the later destroyed Csereyn\u00e9 Codex (the oldest Hungarian hymnal).@\nBy 1879, the founders managed to have the private collection officially taken over by the representatives of the Sz\u00e9kely community, so that it formally became the common property of the Sz\u00e9kely community. At that time the collection, which had grown to more than 9000 items, was transferred to Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy. The Sz\u00e9kely Mik\u00f3 College housed the institution until the present main building was completed.@\nAccording to its statutes of 1882, its collection is the inalienable property of the Sz\u00e9kely people.@\nThe institution became a modern museum under the museum keeper Nagy G\u00e9za (1881-89). Among other things, professional archaeological excavations in Sz\u00e9kelyland, the excavation of Transylvanian medieval wall paintings, and the archival research in Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy were started. The first significant publication of the Sz\u00e9kely National Museum (Nagy G\u00e9za: Data on the origins and former habitation of the Sz\u00e9kelys, Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy, 1886) was published in this period.@\nFrom 1889 until 1949, the museum keepers were selected from among the teachers of the Sz\u00e9kely Mik\u00f3 College.@\nThe present museum building was built between 1911-13, based on the plans of K\u00f3s K\u00e1roly. The First World War halted the construction and in 1917 it was requisitioned for a military hospital. From 1921, work could continue with interior painting and furnishing.@\nTo escape the Romanian invasion between 28 August and 24 October 1916, the museum's material was taken to the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest, only to be returned in October 1922.@\nBetween 1930 and 1937, the oldest Hungarian open-air ethnographic museum was established (the one in Balassagyarmat was established at the same time).@\nIn 1943 K\u00f3s K\u00e1roly drew up plans for the extension of the building.@\nThe most valuable part of the rich collections was evacuated to Western Hungary to escape the Second World War, but on 29 March 1945 it suffered a heavy loss: 52 chests of museum material were destroyed by a bomb hit at the Zalaegerszeg railway station.@\nIn 1949 the museum was nationalised, and in 1952 the use of its name was banned, at which time it was still the largest rural Hungarian museum in the Carpathian Basin. In the meantime, it was deprived of part of its collection: some 350 000 items of archival material were removed in several stages up to 1964, establishing another important collection, the State Archives in Sepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy.@\nIn 1979-81, the extension of the building, planned for decades, was completed with the adaptation of K\u00f3s K\u00e1roly' plans by Gagyi Ferenc.@\nAfter the fall of communism at the end of 1989, the Sz\u00e9kely National Museum retook its former name.@\nIn addition to its rich natural history, archaeological, historical, ethnographic and fine arts collections, the Sz\u00e9kely National Museum also has a library with significant 18th-19th century Hungarian printed material and manuscripts.\n&\nwikipedia: Sz\u00e9kely Nemzeti

The obelisk was moved to the courtyard of the Sz\u00e9kely National Museum, but the pedestal with the lions remained in place. In 1932, the lions were rolled off the site, but they were still put back on by order of the authorities. In 1934, at the request of the local prefect, the lions were moved to the museum and the pedestal was removed.@\nIn September 1940, following the Second Vienna Award, the monument was quickly restored and the missing parts were replaced. However, in September 1944, the obelisk was knocked down and the lions mutilated by the members of the invading Romanian Maniu Guard. The lions were returned to the museum in its garden, in a relatively secluded place. After 1947, the obelisk was restored, but the Hungarian coat of arms was removed and replaced by a marble plaque with the dates '1848-1849', and the obelisk was simply inscribed 'In memory of the War of Independence' at the bottom. In 1958, some students of the Mik\u00f3 College laid a wreath at the monument, for which the Romanian authorities sentenced them to long years in prison.@\nIn March 2018, the obelisk was renovated, the Hungarian crowned coat of arms and the original inscriptions written by the writer J\u00f3kai M\u00f3r were restored to the front."},{"sightId":2090,"townId":79,"active":1,"name_LO":"","address":"Templom utca, K\u0151r\u00f6si Csoma S\u00e1ndor utca","mapdata":"1|1181|950","gps_lat":"45.8692588485","gps_long":"25.7919572564","religion":0,"oldtype":"38","newtype":"38","homepage":"https:\/\/www.kozterkep.hu\/22392\/turul-emlekmu#","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"","picture_ref":"","name":"Turul Memorial","seolink":"turul-memorial","note":"","history":"The sculpture by S\u00e1rp\u00e1tki Zolt\u00e1n, a young sculptor from Cs\u00edkszereda was inaugurated on 10 March 2014."},{"sightId":2091,"townId":79,"active":1,"name_LO":"","address":"Parcul Elisabeta, Erzs\u00e9bet park","mapdata":"1|570|1676","gps_lat":"45.8651223361","gps_long":"25.7866389567","religion":0,"oldtype":"38","newtype":"38","homepage":"https:\/\/www.kozterkep.hu\/12054\/miko-imre","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Bocskai Vince; photo: Gr\u00f3szny\u00f3, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:MikoImreSztgyorgy2.JPG\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022MikoImreSztgyorgy2\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/19\/MikoImreSztgyorgy2.JPG\/512px-MikoImreSztgyorgy2.JPG\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:MikoImreSztgyorgy2.JPG\u0022\u003EBocskai Vince; photo: Gr\u00f3szny\u00f3\u003C\/a\u003E, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","name":"Statue of Count Mik\u00f3 Imre","seolink":"statue-of-count-miko-imre","note":"","history":"Count Mik\u00f3 Imre looks at the building of the Sz\u00e9kely Mik\u00f3 College, which he founded in 1859.
