Kecskemét - Piarist Priory and College

In addition to the church, this complex of buildings embraces a priory, a college and a school in Classical style. Built c 1730, the Baroque church is the work of the well-known architect Andreas Mayerhoffer. The front is embellished with statues of SS Stephen and Ladislaus, as well as with figures of the Virgin Mary and the founder of the order, St Joseph Calasanz. Inside can be seen some beautiful original altars. Note also the paintings on the pastoral side-altar in which the figures display the traditional hairstyle and clothes of the Cuman settlers.
